i realized that we dont have any phone app causing that. in my first post i said it must be the dolphin browser and i uninstalled it, used firefox and did not see mobogenie .for a couple of days. i was going to be happy but today when visiting some web page it came again! i looked logcat there was nothing. came back to website again and saw that there is an ad. box running with javascript causing mobogenie app install or opening mobogenie install page of the market.. ads were related to ro2.biz and ads.blueads.com thats it..
Hi Guyz,
Can you guyz provide me the website link that you were visiting just before you started to get the mobogenie apk install.
this will help us a lot to track and stop it.
Thanks & Reagrds

It showed up randomly for me. I got it while browsing a bunch of sites such as Xda, android police, nasa, space.com and some others. I got the download request even while browsing through Flipboard.
As you can see in the previous posts others report a bunch of other sites too.
I stopped receiving the download request after I deactivated all personalized ads from my google account ( www.google.com.br/ads/preferences) and deactivated the RootPA.apk on my system (com.gd.mobicore.pa).
I'm not sure wich solved the issue but I sorted it out myself long before you guys show up here...

Luca: can you please give me - an android noob - an idea about the RootPA.apk that you mention on your system. To me, it sounds like a rooted device whereas my device is unrooted. If its not a rooted apk file, could you tell me how to deactivate it?
Thanks.

Sneaking apks into Ads is a direct ticket to being shamed, the issue doesn't happen if the user agent is set to anything other than Android, so it looks like it is targeting Android devices in particular to manipulate.
Hi,
After I reflashed android ROM to stock 4.3, rooted, restored my apps with TiBackup (done that process thousands of times) something strange happened.
Now from time to time file Mobogenie_1501.apk downloads by itself. I didn't open it (just in case). I delete it from downloads folder and after a day it downloads again (I can see that in notifications).
I didn't install anything unusuall except [had to remove it] Everything else - the stuff from Google Play I used for ages.
What is this Mobogenie_1501.apk?
