i just reinstalled it last night cause of free apps for halloween and i see its always in the backround running even if i dont open it up after a reboot?..i dont know i have never gotten weird text msgs or anythinig now i have gotten three today the latest on is to test and keep a free ipad3

Yeah, that's strange - the least they could do is offer you an android tablet :nerd::crazy::saint:

There is an app called addons detector (his spelling, not mine) which will tell you the various 3rd party connections made by apps.
Look for leadbolt or airpush, as they suck the hardest when it comes to pushing spam to phones.

Weird because I got a random phone call today too, couldn't really make it out but it was spam for sure :furious:

I dont know why all the sudden after installing it and downloading a app i uninstalled this has happened all the sudden i was just wandering if anyone else was getting this im not glad your getting calls but glad to see im not going crazyi blocked all ads hopefully that fixes it

Well it does make sense to giveaway apps for free that are otherwise paid for everywhere else if you can use it for illicit purposes...just a thought...I dunno
