Since it's not a virus or a Trojan or anything like that, none of those programs will pick it up. There are ad-blocker programs, but they don't stop all ads, since some apps have the ads written in as part of the app. Face it - if you want free apps you have to put up with the ads. Some people only write apps for the money.
 
In the future when u post a photo on the world wide web . aka web browser please edit as much as u can such as your personal email address this will keep trolls from hitting you up or sending u SPAM messages
 
What you mean free apps?. This pop up is coming up on my built in to the phone apps like Google play calendar and Gmail. I'm not taking about adds in games
 
The forum member is telling you that u can stop them a little its not much you can do I will post in a second trying to edit the photo for u
 
OK cheers. Didn't think adds and pop ups could just pop up and the built in apps. I had this s4 for a month its only just started doing it
 
An app can have an ad pop up almost anywhere. It's inappropriate and rude, to say the least, but we're dealing with people here, not perfection. (That's the nicest way I can think of to say it.)
 
Are you asking me? Yes, I do - and I have no PMs at this time.

Or if you meant it the other way - how should you check - it's in the upper right area of the screen where it would say (on yours), Welcome, BRAINZ2013.
