Try rebooting and taking a look at your /system/etc/hosts file, you should be able to see if adfree has modified it or not. Some apps have started getting ads from their own servers so there's no easy way to block them

Just hit download and install hosts. Installing it doesn't do anything, you have to refresh the hosts.

Maybe adaway would work better for you? Free in the market.

Companies are getting smarter and thus ads are getting harder to block. The new Pandora app is swear gets its ads from Pandora servers. Oh well.

Are you getting notification adds or are you wanting to get rid of adds in the app?

I've gotten random win a ipad notifications here and have checked using the airpush detector app which results in zero apps I have using it evidently. They don't happen every day either but maybe once a week or longer they do....

I had one pop up last week. First one I've ever seen. Hadn't seen it since. I have lookout installed and do not have or never had any bootleg apps. I don't get it. Those apps need to be pulled and gone.

I've had an issue keeping ads away as well. I do think the deevelopers are getting a bit smarter about how they serve the ads.

Here is an old thread on the subject

It hasn't been updated in quite some time but it might help.

im just absolutely lost how/what is causing the notification popup add that i get which is for "win an ipad2..."
Itll randomly happen and not with a program up and running less its in the background. Its not a txt msg one but actual notification that sends me to a website. I scaned with lookout and all is fine. Also read up on the notification adds and thought it might be the airpush crap but the airpush defender app didn't find any apps using it when i installed it so im at a complete loss now as to why this is happening.

I've never seen the ad you're talking about but I wonder if Sprint is sending it to you. I used to get a bunch of text ads from Sprint until I called them up and told them not to send me anything anymore. You might just be able to call them and have them stop it.

You can never really tell what apps to trust and what not to, I guess.

Take Dolphin for instance, love the browser, but take a look at this.

Not directly "ad" related, but you get what I'm saying.
