I'm not sure, it looks like something from the Samsung Apps store. It doesn't appear to be installed, though.

Looks like the icon for Avast Mobile Security, check the screenshots here (Google Play link).

Oh, you mean the icon on the notification bar? That's Avast Mobile Security. Sorry, i thought you meant that Chinese app on the screen shot.

Thanks for the replies ppl

My mistake for being not clear (sorry, I was practically falling asleep whilst typing). I am referring to the asian app and not the Avast icon.

Whilst online I receive (I assume Korean) notification which I cannot clear unless I select it first and allow it to take me to the above posted screen. After which I close the window and then I am able to delete the notification itself.

I have recently installed Samsung Apps but have just this second un-installed it to see if the problem/annoyance ceases.

According to Google translate it's a Chinese app called "jingdong mall"

If you're on jb, next time you get the notification long press it and then select app info to find out which app is pushing the ad. If you're not on jb you'll need to download an ad push detector app from the play store.

Thanks guys and gals

I found the offending app to be Angry Birds Star Wars!
