I was googling live wallpapers and found a guy who made his own Skyrim one. I asked if he would share it with me. When I downloaded it, I uploaded it to [Only registered users can view links. ] to check it out (as I do with everything) and 2 hits came up. I would just like to know what they mean...

From what I've heard, AirPush is basically code in an app that pushes ads to your notifications bar. I don't think it steals data or anything, but it's very annoying and intrusive.

How would you get rid of it if you had it and didn't know what program caused it?

Airpush Detector on the Market will tell you which apps are using Airpush.

Drunk texted from my KillaSense Thunderbolt.
