Out of nowhere, my phone has been taken over by ads. Not completely, but whenever you unlock the phone from sleep, and periodically while using (at random functions).
After unlocking from sleep, it usually opens a web page with some ?you?ve won? crap. Other times it is a system type popup with a list of apps for download. It has also randomly taken me to the ?groupon? ap in GOOGLE APS.
Hopefully this is a common recent event that is widespread that someone will recognize and be able to tell me what it is? but I know it?s likely that it?s one of those things that no one will be able to just identify on the spot, like any other spam / virus.
My hope is that someone can at least tell me a way that I can find out for myself what started this crap. As everyone knows, multiple apps are updating all day every day, so I'm not able to pin down any specific period. I don't use a lot of aps, and the ones I choose are "reputable" ones that I expect I shouldn't have to worry about switching to something like this. I already use TrustGo, and the only thing it detected from a scan was "identity leak" candidates, which they pretty much all do. There really should be some serious North Korean prison time involved for scum that do this.
Really appreciate any help.
