No, blame the phone .. and maybe Verizon as well as Samsung and Google. Brand new phone out of the box and ads popping up all over, especially for apps. Not appreciated.

Well, I've never used a Samsung, or a carrier-locked phone, but I'll pass this on to others who have, and who may be able to comment.
