Is there a program that is causing the pop up ads on the 3D and if so how do I get rid of it?
Not root yet (waiting on Myn) so I cannot use ad blocker.
Uninstall it.

You can use CPU spy (i think thats the name...never had to use it myself but i hear its good for runaway apps) or maybe even the battery info tool built in to see what, if anything, is running after a fresh boot besides stock apps. Once you isolate the item you can remove the faulting APK and hopefully be in the clear. If its an APK you just got to have i'd root and install AdFree by Big Tin Can to install and maintain an actively updated hosts file that routes all typicall ad call's back to the local machine (set address 127.0.0.1).
Hope this helps some man!
Pop ups....? Seems like some sort of malware app.

It's some apps that are giving you the ads. Unistall the last app you installed.

Some developers are doing this type of advertising now. Check comments for the complaints. I know there are apps to detect some of these advertising methods but I can't remember them. I've had it happen with some live wallpapers and games. If I'm not mistaken, I've had it happen with at least 1 app from the GO Dev team (maybe a wallpaper they did? Can't remember).
Thanks for the responses but if I knew which app was doing the ads I would delete it.
How do I find out which app is causing the ads which are on the notification bar?

Ads in the notification bar are called AirPush ads (new company introduced them). There's an app called AirPush-Detector that will tell you what apps are using it. See if that helps.
My Prime has these leadbolt ads that pop up quite often. Will someone please help me remo e them?

I've been getting the same ads, but Adaway isn't doing anything. Could Adfree be any different?
Also, I think these are tied to a specific app I've installed - anyone know which one might be causing this? I've never seen ads like this in the notification tray - they show up with a big green "+" sign.

if this is something that's been occurring recently, check the notifications for any recent apps you installed.
adaway works great for me and dramatically increases browser page loading speeds. does a great job at eliminating ads.
This typically happens when you download a free app. Paying for the app should not give you pop ups. In my past i havent had any luck with ad blocker. I use adhoc on my HTC Sensation.
I had the same thing. And they are right. It is from a free app. I tried everything to get rid of it and could not even when I deleted all apps I installed. I ended up resetting to factory and reinstalling apps. No problems since.
Download addons detector from the market and see what app is the culprit of the leadbolt ads. Then uninstall it.
Ad Network Detector by Lookout Labs.
They're almost always spot on at identifying the programs that are causing the annoying issues.
Adaway works great for me aswell
I would have recommended adfree (rq root) but it reduces flash functionality for video playback on some websites
Installed "airpush detector" from the market and discovered that Tablet Wallpapers was the app giving me the spam in my notification bar. Uninstalled it, so hopefully that will do the trick!

All the above mentioned apps worked for me as well. I am ad free now! The best for me was Ad Network Dedector whitch found all kinds of apps on my Prime. Good luck!
If an app is sending ads to your notifications bar, you should find out which app it is, leave the most negative review possible regarding the notification bar ads (but be polite, people ignore reviews filled with curse words) and then uninstall the app.
If people don't use an app because it has notification ads, then app developers will stop using this method of advertising to promote their products.
Honestly though, Google needs to step in and stop people from spamming the notifications bar with advertisements. That area is for important information, not crap like "50% Off Downloadable Armor in Blood & Glory!"
Ad Notification
Tablet wallpapers was the culprit for me as well.
Download Addons detector from the market this might solve your problem....
You really need to change your title. I though it said infected with aids
Also go with adaway works really good.

I use airpush detector, it works quite well, I haven't had any apps that push without it identifying them so far.
'ad.leadboltads.net' is Malware

YIKES!,,,,I hope I don't have to go that route....
Lookout Security & Antivirus found mine in ChargeBar Free Edition,
ChargeBar came embedded in the NottachTrix 2.3.0 ROM.
I installed it (NottachTrix) and it (ChargeBar) didn't update for 3 months, then, BANG.
I've deleted ChargeBar's update, moved it from system apps to apps, deleted it, and the browser pop open 'ad.leadboltads.net' still persists.
Lookout Security & Antivirus can not find the new location of the malware, they do not have a forum.
By the very definition and behaviour, this is malware, and, ChargeBar (Asgard Casino Apps) is involved in the distribution of malware.
Asgard Casino Apps distributes 34 apps that behave this way.
They are using Google to distribute this malware, abet, that app is benign in its origin, its a pipeline, or conduit for malware.
Sneaky F##kers aren`t they.........
#1) I would like to get this crap off my phone.
#2) I need to bring this to Google's attention, and have the developer and apps banned from the Play store.
Sooo, starting with #1,,,how do I get this crap off my phone!
NOTE:
I will be linking to this post in the NottachTrix post, I'm asking the developers to to move ChargeBar from the ROM zip.

Any solution to this?
I'm just having the same issues and none of these suggestions helped.. really dont wanna factory reset..
I installed a few apps from the google app marketplace over the last week or two, and found I'm getting random advertisements popping up under my phones notifaction list ( Where you can drag down the menu at the top of your phones screen and see recent events. ) There are also buttons being placed in empty locations on my phones main tabs, like shortcuts to applications or widgets, and they link me to the web. ( I have multiple browsers and just close the box when it asks which browser to use. )
I don't understand where this is coming from or what I have to do to get rid of it... I understand that some apps have advertisements, but those are only while the application is actually opened and being used I thought. This has been sending me messages waking me up when I'm sleeping, It's kinda sorta bull**** lol... And I don't think I need an anti virus program constantly zapping my Notes resources, but yeah...
Any comments? What do I do to pinpoint which program is causing it, and will removing that app even fix the problem?
Seems you got airpush install somehow, download add on detector from the market

Make sure you post which app it was so we can all avoid it. 1 star it in the market and say it has AirPush and to avoid it before you uninstall it please!
Hi:
Just got a notification on my Galaxy 10.1 tab: "Sign-in error for [email protected] - Touch to sign into your account".
Is it possible that this is malware spoofing the system? Any way for me to find out? I've run Avira and it says the tab's clean, and I also checked the running services, but I don't see anything out of the ordinary.
I'm wary because a few days ago I got a notification that my tablet had a virus *eyeroll* and when I tapped it it went to a 'download antivirus here' page which of course I didn't click on...
Thanks.
It must be an app with notification ads...try to recall which apps you installed recently and uninstall it...you problem should be solved...

Do you use Swiftkey, by any chance? I got the exact same thing happen this morning and I think that's what it was. I closed the notification anyway without entering my details and found that I had to go through a setup process with Swiftkey because it had just been updated. Not had the notification since.
AppBrain Ad Detector should find the malicious app
Hello All
Still kinda new with the Android OS, I have recently experienced some strange icons on my home page, anyway, it seems that a lot of spam (I'm just guessing) comes with DLd stuff.
So I DLd a app called addon detector and I'm not exactly sure how to use it so does anyone know how to use this app? I ran the scan function but I still got a unwanted icon so theres evidently more to this then just running a scan
Anyway, all help is greatly appreciated!! Thanks

Download Airpush from the market. Run it. It will tell you what app is the problem and you can choose to uninstal it
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
After you run a scan select the "Addons" button. In the filter box above select "Push Notifications". This will tell you the apps pushing notifications to your notification bar. You will need to uninstall the causing app.
The other filters will meen very little to most.
Now strange icons on your home page is something totally different. Tell us about these icons.
Install an app called Airblocker. It will block all airpush ads without having to uninstall anything.
