Agree 100%

 

Yeah, right! Free things are hardly ever "free of charge" (the same with PC software). The Lookout adscan app is a great advice!

 

Hi Could not find Adscan is this the same one
"Lookout Ad Network Detector "

 

I can't find Lookout Adscan anywhere either. Are you sure that was the name of the app? I see Lookout Ad Network Detector, Lookout Security & Antivirus, and several other Lookout apps, but not Adscan.

I always run firewall and antivirus software on my PC, but didn't years back because of how much they slowed down my underpowered systems.

So I've been hesitant to try apps that do that on the Ace. But there is avast! Mobile Security that provides both on Android based phones.

Does anyone have any experience avast who can report on its effect on the phones performance?

 

Hi,
In another thread Elbmek mentioned the Lookout Ad Network Detector. That's the one he means in this thread (I think, at least that's the one I've downloaded).

 

All these problems can be solved if you are ROOTED.

You can delete system apps, modify app's permissions, block all ads etc.
I rooted my ACE 6 months ago, haven't seen an ad since

 

I rooted my Ace and installed Adfree. Now I have forgotten how ads looks like!
