Badabee Apps ad

[EinarsH]

Hi!
I've been having a problem lately. I installed a handful of apps on my device and since then something is making a shortcut "New free app" on my home screen every day. When i delete it, it creates it again the next day. When I open the shortcut it always leads to the same "Badabee apps" page in Google play market. The thing is that I don't have any of this developer's apps ever installed. The question is - how could I find out which app is making these shortcuts and is there any way how to deny it to do it. I have already tried uninstalling latest apps i have installed, but something is still making these shortcuts

Welcome to the forums!!

Usually that's the result of an app that is delivering Push Ads to your phone.

Give this app from the play store a try and see if it finds all the nasties:

Yes, it is aggressive advertising, pushed by ad networks like AirPush, Leadbolt etc. and caused by a recently installed or updateted app on your phone.

If you don't get that suggested app by Symantec in your country then this thread's first post by Hadron could also help you to catch the culprit app ...

Thanks, guys! Symantec doesn't seem to be compactable, but I'm trying out those other ones right now.
