Weird advertising suspects addwere

[Android Question]

Hi,

I have a Samsung S2 and I have recently come across really weird advertising.

The adds come in the form of system messages, New Icons (links to Google play) on my home screen and in my "new message field" so to speak.

I can also be redirected first to the web-browser and then to Google play what ever i do with my phone at the moment.

I suspect ad-were or virus, what do I do?

I remember when that happened to me. It was pretty frustrating, I hate ad-ware stuff. Do you remember what the last application you installed was before you began getting the ads? Some apps have hidden ads built in.

Try installing Air Push Dectector

That should detect any applications that are causing ads to pop up.
