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??

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.
 
Thanks guys. You're both dolls.

:kissy:

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