It was a busy day today trying to find the source of some annoying android popups. The tablet was infected with something that kept generating airpush adverts and trying to install apps. Took 2 days to fix (or at least get the tablet working properly).

Eventually had to root the device and then rummage around with adb so I could work out what was calling the popups into existence. Took a little while but I found the little blighters.

Then couldn’t overcome the privileges they’d given themselves (though I must admit I think they could have been part of the ROM) so installed titanium and that fixed the buggers.

Now, one shiny new 4.4.2 KitKat Android tablet awaiting decimation from the Karenator.

That means of course that I get a week or so grace period before it needs retrieval again…
