Push ads ...

[TheGirlNextDoor]

OK. Somewhere, sometime, some how, I downloaded an app that has embedded (??) push ads on my phone.

I went through and uninstalled a bunch of crap, but the push ads still pop up.

Does anyone anyone here know how I can locate the guilty app and/or figure out how to isolate this problem so I can eradicate it??

WARNING: I am not very tech savvy, so layman's terms would be appreciated.

If it is Android, try this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.trustgo.mobile.security

Good advice above. If that doesn't seem to help, you may have to do a 'factory reset' in your options. That will clear out everything and restart the phone like the first day you got it.

TrustGo security app. It found the culprit. No more push ads AND it has a nifty thingamabob that tracks data usage.
