How To Get Rid Of Random Ads And Pop Ups

How do I get rid of popup ads on Android?

I have a non-rooted HTC Evo 4G running on Gingerbread. Within the past few days I've noticed that my phone has been getting a lot of popup ads. Some say "Would you like an iPhone 5?" or "Find singles in your area!" Some come up in a push notification style, and others are fullblown ads. I ran AirPush Detector and it said that 'Network' was responsible for the ads. I don't want to uninstall anything in case I screw up my phone, but what exactly is 'Network' and why am I getting ads from it all of a sudden. Is there something else that could be causing the problem also?

How can I remove pop-up ads from an Android mobile?

A2APop-ups that are not browser based can manifest in 2 ways. Either as a service or as an application on Android. The best course of action is as follows:1. Install Malwarebytes on your phone2. Disconnect from the Internet to stop further pop-ups and updates of the malicious application.3. Check your running applications and kill any malicious ones you find (Or do not recognize, be vigilant, some “system” processes are not system at all)4. Uninstall malicious applications if you find them on your browser5. Scan with Malwarebytes to potentially remove malware.6. Turn on the internet. Check if the problem is no longer present.7. If the problems persist, factory reset it.If I am honest, it is far easier to just factory reset your phone and be done with the problem. Resetting is not that big of a deal, but if you do not have backups, do the steps up till 5, make backups and then factory reset. Good luck!
