Hi
From today morning I keep seeing these messages in my phone which lead to an internet page with ads
Have not seen anything like this on any of my android phones
Is this some kind of virus in my phone?

Download the app airpush detector from google play. its free and it will detect the app that pushes the ads on your notification bar so you can remove it.

It's an ad. You've installed an asp that's probably free but ad supported!
Just work out which one and un install to remove ads

You can also try the app called addons detector which is also free.

wow, thanks mate that was helpful......found it and uninstalled
It is probably done by one of the apps you installed. Don't quote me on this, it is purely my speculation.

I'm running on Atrix with CyanogenMod Beta on At&t. Anyone else get this, or have similar problems. I'm not sure how to look into this, i downloaded aLog but not sure what i'm looking for to block.
You installed an (imo malicious) app that includes a notififaction add spammer called AirPush, use this app to find out what the offending app is and delete it.
Do that^
then kill it with fire

You can prevent imminent blindness by taping your eyelids open. This stops the squinting and resulting blindness! Been doing it for years myself!

Never heard of that App and fortunately I don't have any infected airpush apps installed on my phone, but that's still good to know...

I only have a handful of apps installed, including the go launcher but when I'm using xda, tapatalk, or even setting up Google voice, it closes on me.
Anyone else experiencing the same?

Just been using my phone, haven't done much, only app I just activated was Samsung apps, nothing else.
Just been browsing etc.
Any ideas where these came from?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, these apps do not appear in the installed apps list or titanium?

This has happened to me before after downloading a game app....flooded me with crap exactly like that. Don't think it's spyware tho. I always just deleted immediately and never had a prob.

The only apps on the screen that are mine are xda and my camera and the search bar and clock, the ones down the bottom are also mine, the other four, "new message" "Droid apps" "slots" and "cab app" I did not install. Its the first time in I don't know how many years I've seen this happen.

I'm going to do a full wipe just to be safe, I've heard of crap like this just never had it happen to me.

They may presumably be app or game addons. Do you have any apps or games that constantly advertise they're products? They may automatically download they apps..
I'm assuming.. I have never seen this happen before..

I just noticed that when I go into manage apps and select all, there is an app with no name at the top of the list. Is this normal? Does everyone else have this? I've attached a screen shot

Thanks. That's a relief. I was worried I had some sort of virus or rogue process
It's because you both have a virus

Ouch. That's not good. Anyone have any idea what the app with no name is?

It's a naughty apk, not because it's a "virus", but because it's a missing a name in its android manifest xml. I'm sure there's a dozen apps that'll let you scroll through your apps for more info, and eventually you'll see that it's packagename is "com.fubar.blahblah" along with other info.
Just ran titanium and it looks like the app with no name might be associated with the latest sprint update. Can someone else with a sprint gs3 confirm that they have the same process running? Screen shot attached

Really digging this phone, and the stock rom. Had it for 4 days. Android OS uses 200~mb data each day. Can anyone confirm that LG is botnet/stealing metadata?

The part of the code everyone is referring too has nothing to do with LG.
It is simply a part of the MeetMe apps reporting abuse function. Go get the MeetMe app, go to any persons profile, and try to report them. That EXACT list will come up.
