As you might expect from a 11 year old, she keeps filling it with games and girly-pop songs. Today, I noticed a strange "pseudo-Market" icon on its home screen:

Eee Pad home screen

When you click on it, you get the screen below. Looks like spam to install more games. Lots of these show up in the notification area too, but this "pseudo-Market" icon is a first.

Is there a good scanner to get rid of all this nagware?

  • That doesn't look like a pseudo market but the new updated play store.

    @RichardBorcsik Why would Play Store have Market as the shortcut text and an old icon like that? This definitely is not the new Play Store.

  • @RichardBorcsik I think OP is referring to the icon below the play store.
