Galaxy Note 4 - Possible virus?

[AC Question]

I just love my Galaxy Note 4. It is the best phone I ever had. Now I see ad popups every now and then. Is it a possible virus?

Have you downloaded any apps recently or that were from another source besides play store , etc?
Do they appear in your notification bar ?
They could come from an app you recently downloaded.There are a few app that detect which apps use that method to push ads to your phone though notification bar .
One of those is :

Hey,

Like David say, some free apps use ads as a revenue for those who made the app.

If you could upload a screenshot of such ads you talking about, we could understand if it's a virus or not!
