Lately every time I reboot my phone, an ad appears in my notification bar. And now one just popped up without even a reboot. Could anyone tell me why these might be appearing?
I've got a thunderbolt running ThunderShed v1.3 CM7.2.0 RC1. I also run ad-free and its up to date.

There's been a number of posts about this. Its an advertising system called air push. Use add on detector from android market to identify the app and uninstall it.
Ad blockers won't block them.

Hi, recently I've noticed everytime I boot my phone up, I find a blue star on the status bar and when I pull it down it's always something different. Currently it says "BLOCK Ads Now! Scan Now (Free)"
I did a virus scan with avg, avast, and lookout and got nothing. It's really annoying, I've cleared all caches, browser history, everything. What can I do?

They are airpush ads. You installed an app that uses the airpush AD network. Virus software or malware scanners won't pick this up as a virus....cuz....it isn't a virus, just annoying.

That makes sense, any way of removing it?

Uninstall whatever app is causing the problem.
I had that because of a theme for Go Launcher (Go ICS Theme, to be exact), uninstalling it seems to have fixed the issue.
Addons Detector (free in Market) will show what is pushing ads.... also, AppBrain App Market app now includes an Ad detector as well.

It might be helpful if you posted which app?

What is this that... the + in the circle, left of the vibrate icon. (Screen shot included)
I looked on google and I can't find this "turn on notification" option...
Location services are off.
It's still part of the notifications. When they are turned on you get 3 lines to three right of it

Any way to make it disappear?
Flash a Rom. There may be a mod in developers section to get rid of that location services icon.

I think it has something to do with GPS. I was curious of it too and I read about it in the manual.

Found out it's the e911 location. Can't be disabled on stock but roms can remove the icon.
Hey I was reading earlier about the possibility of being tracked if you let someone use your phone since they can install a tracking app that could use your GPS without you knowing.so my question is, assuming that they already installed a spying app, could it use my GPS without having the GPS icon displayed in my notification bar?

look for this app on google play: Cheating Spouse? How-To Catch
Hey guys for those of you who have been using the greatest craigslist app ever, do you have an issue with the occasional ad that almost fills the entire screen?
I know the app has been removed from the market indefinitely, but it is honestly heads and shoulders better than even the paid apps. I've had many people ask me for the .apk because they see how quickly I can locate anything they are looking for.
I've tried using adaway which will remove the ad but there is still a pop up that fills 80% of the screen.
Help Please!
