New market appears on phone today

[rubiksc00p]

Yeah sounds like airpush. It stealth installed when I downloaded some torrent mp3 downloader off Android Market. First time I got a notification asking me to update the Android Market... Which I almost did!!! That would have cost me 10 bucks a month for who knows how long! Thank god I didn't.

NOTE: Airpush shows up in the notification bar, but if you tap on it in the pull down you'll get a large pop up window in the middle of the screen urging you to download something (Android Market, or something else).

Yep... prime example as to why you don't download apps like that!

It may not even be from a new install. It could be from an app that updated. I know I have seen airpush notifications trying to get me to install that same new market. I checked using Addons Detector and found a live wallpaper I had installed that had updated to include airpush. That was immediately uninstalled.

Could be, but I say most likely just a new install.

Installed addon detector and air push detector. Addon saw anything with ads even though most are the paid versions...angry birds etc....air push only showed gps fix...I unstalled it even though I believe it is harmless...had it for a year at least...must have been one of the apps I uninstalled before I ran the air push checkers. I have AVG installed now, hopefully that prevents future problems.
