Help "Ali's webpage AD"

[Ferocity]

I'm having the same problem when I clean my phone in device maintenance. I get the Ali Webpage AD and Taobao Cache. Please someone tell me how to get rid of these. I already checked for unknown odd apps and didn't find any, unless I missed one. Is there any way to get this off my phone?

I also have Tutu App, Lucky Patcher, and a pro version of KineMaster I got online. I don't know if these are the problem.

"Ali" meaning Alibaba? The Chinese internet, e-commerce, technology and data company.

Are you using any of their apps?

Or possibly you got some app or game installed that's using Alibaba's advertising services for monetization? And that folder could be the temp cache for the ads.

Just found this, same thing with a Xiaomi phone running MIUI.

That very much confirms it, "TAOBAO" is Alibaba. And would normally only have that they was using the Taobao app(Chinese only).

Do you have this app installed on your phone? Which is Taobao, a China only online shopping site, similar to Amazon or Ebay. And Taobao is from Alibaba.

I think either one of those could be the problem, as they do both come from China. I suspect they're probably using Alibaba's data mining and ad services for their monetization. Suggest you unnstall them.

As for Lucky Patcher, that's for doing theft, which is very much frowned upon here on AF. But I do suggest you uninstall it, as it might be the cause of the ads as well.
