Somewhere about 2 weeks ago, my phone started getting a bunch of weird popups that can't be ignored that overlay the app I want to use.
I installed AppBrain Ad Detector and let it scan looking for the culprit. Ran a virus scan with Clean Master and Bluebox Security. None of the three of these has detected a virus; something that I was pretty sure did not exist on the phone anyway.
What I have is a worm that is hiding from the normal virus detectors. It is stealthy, moves and changes.... I thought it was AdMob adverts for a while, but I am now sure it is not. I just now started doing Screenshots of everyone of them that show up so I can analyze this mess.
I just this minute installed: Ad-Network Scanner & Detector
and let it run, it came up with just about zilch. A screenshot is attached for that.
This bad critter is like the stuff that gets hidden on a PC in a root partition that can't normally be accessed.
Any suggestions as to what program to use to kill this nasty critter?
I can always just format the phone and use Kies 3.0 to restore it back to where it was 3 months ago..... but lordy, I have done a lot of tuning up since then and didn't want to do that. I will though if I have to.
