[Q] How to get rid of this Scareware notification ? - Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I'm getting this Star shaped icon notification (the picture is also showing what the notification info window looks like when you tick the Star icon):
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is what I get when I click on that info window:
I already installed AVG Antivirus for Android but it doesnt remove it. I'm wondering how this notification is able to appear. I guess my system is infected ? How to remove it (and prevent new ones) ?

Look for an app call AirPush Detector in the Market and run it.
(Lookout has an app too)
You might have recently install an app with air push advertisement.

Yea it was the 'Mooie Batterij' app (a very nice looking battery status widget)
Thanks for helping me again ! I'm quite new to Android so I hadn't heard about this Airpush technique yet.

Airpush detector is awesome app to find crap apps like that.

yeah but since I like the App I didn't want to uninstall it and now I use an app called 'Airblocker - Airpush blokkade'. So far it seems to work.

Malware? Airpush.com shortcuts placed on my homescreen

I got up today to my phone having a couple of new shortcuts on the home screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
They open webpages to livemobilesearch.com. The social one opens and is redirected to www.friendfb.com.
Livemobilesearch.com links to airpush.com's privacy policy so they must be related.
http://www.airpush.com/
So, now I need to find out which one of my apps is using this crap.
Air push is a new kind of advertising on android, mostly in the US at the moment.
There is an app called AirPush Detector on the market which will help.
I found the offending app, it was Lock Delay Free. It was mentioned in the user feedback. I uninstalled it and bought the full non-ad supported version.
I got the same thing on my LG Ally today. I used the Airpush Detector and it brought up a live wallpaper I downloaded a week or so ago. I removed it, so that means all I have to do is delete the shortcuts, right?
Also found where you can opt out of ads on the Airpush website. Does anybody think that would be useful?
Airpush.com/optout
Got the same garbage on mine today.
Not impressed....
Airpush detector found it happily though - offending app was also some 'live 3d girl wallpaper' that some mate said was 'awesome' - garbage...
Had this happen when I installed a Lyrics Search app on my phone. Automatically placed 2 shortcuts on my home screen AND sent me an unsolicited advertisement message notification!

HTC Calculator

How do I disable the haptoc feedback from the HTC Calculator Application? I already have haptoc feedback off yet it vibrates still.

Unless the app is recompiled, there is no way to change it. It is very annoying.

Get the free version of RealCalc from the play store, fantastic calculator and has a lot of features. I find myself needing its conversion features a lot, and you can turn the vibrate off. There's a paid version too which ends up giving you a crazy amount of features, which I bought purely to support the devs.

You dug up a two year old thread for that question? It's right in the settings, you can't miss it.

Did you install any of these " clean pack, tech pack, script pack, pen pack, and/or gothic pack." by flipfont?
Looks like it's an airpush type add. Download AirPush Detector and see.
I did download a font pack I'll try that thanks.
