Help Ads in my notification?

I was wondering if someone else can help me find out what is going on with my phone.

Every day for the past 3 days I've gotten an ad in my notification bar that says "Wonderful Magazine - WonderWall is a stylish digital magazine". I refuse to click it. I have no idea where it came from.

I looked it up online and I guess it's part of MSN? The only thing MSN I have is the messenger but I got that when it first came out. Why would it start now?
 
Can you take a picture of what the notification icon look like?

It may be something in your email that is showing up there.
 
It's an Exclamation point and that's it. I hit my clear to make it go away so I can't take a picture of it but I think I'm going to reboot the phone and try to recreate it by opening apps. Sounds lame but it only shows up when I'm messing with my phone.
 
I have an app called Quick Uninstaller and I think an ad appears in the bar when I open it. An ad supported app is probably to blame. But probably no big deal.
 
Just had the same ad come up on my phone.

Last four apps installed were:

eBay
First Aid
Findagram
aCircuit Board

Any correlation?

I have that and you know what, I bet that was it!
OMG OMG I just opened it to see if I got the ad again and I did.

This app is going the way of the trash right now! UGH! I am disgusted!
 
I have been getting this same ad since Sunday, its for MSN Wonderwall by Reading geeker. Clicking on on the ad takes you to the market page. I have don't have Quick Uninstaller or any other apps newly installed and this developer only has this one app. I didn't see any another apps or unexpected processes running when it popped up either.


I forgot to put that I did a lookout scan and zero viruses were found also.
 
I have this ad as well. Any idea how to get rid of this notification. I do not have Quick Uninstaller or the other apps you mentioned. No viruses found.
