I.M spam on Android

[Polymathic]

A few weeks back I get the Alert message check my phone and see an unfamiliar icon which says "IM" check it out and it's from some spam email address something like hotskank@aol.com and chose to block the person and now i just received another this time from xsupersexyjessxo@aol.com anybody else experience this?

Are you talking about a notification in the notification bar?

 

[Polymathic]

Like when you get a message from whatsapp but instead the whatsapp icon theres a strange icon saying IM

Airpush detector. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.brosmike.airpushdetector

Its a method of advertising - airpush. Sends advertisements to your notification bar. You have a rogue app. The app above will help you find it.

Nope it's detecting nothing

No idea. You're probably going to have to go through the apps you installed recently and uninstall them to see if it stops.

Or read the comments on the market.

Is probably an app that isn't mainstream or does something not so legal. Like an mp3 download app for eg.

That's the best i got. Good luck
