Help getting rid of annoying "Top App Manager" notification. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Recently I've been getting an annoying notification once a day from "Top App Manager" recommending apps for me to download and install. (Which appear to suck.)
I suspect --but am not sure-- that this may be linked to the "MP3 Music Download" app. Has anyone experienced this?
And most importantly, does anybody know how to make it stop?
Many thanks.

Search for "AirPush Blocker" on the market .... You may just need to remove the app that installed it ...

Top App Manager piggy backs with game
My Iconia recently starting showing a red 'A' status icon. Clicking it would pop up a messages about Featured App. This was surprising because I never installed a 'top app manager'. I started uninstalling games one by one until the top app manager icon went away. Upon uninstalling 'Piggy Adventure', the icon disappeared. Go figure. I hope this info helps others.

Wrappio???

I received a notification in the status bar to upgrade to the newest market. I clicked on it and was taken to a site I had never heard of before - wrappio.com. After looking at the site and reading some stuff online it looks like borderline spyware / spam to me. Needless to say I am not too happy about it. I have not installed any suspect .apk files and only downloaded apps from the market. I am running Juggs 4.1 along with the ICS theme / Darkside theme.
Can anyone tell me where this might have come from?
Thanks, in advance.
I see that type of issue alot with my customers that stop into the store. Download lookout or avg. One of your apps is causing that issue it happened to me with mp3 download pro. All kinds of odd notifications were popping up.

Thanks, but I have Lookout installed. It didn't find anything. Also tried Avast and it came up empty as well.

The app didn't find anything for me. I am having the same issue. The wrappio thing wanted my phone number and I stupidly provided it.

Same thing with me but I was able to use Addon Detectors app from the market and that was able to detect the app, it was bloat freezer for me that had the air push ads... Uninstalled it, problem solved.

Yea I had the same issue! So I uninstalled the youtube app then downloaded a older version I found here. The current version on the Market seems to be broken! Works great now. Here is the link!

No but the new YouTube update broke my voice actions. When I try and use it this windows pops up and tells me to sign in. I have to re-click it again for it to work. Damn Google framework interfering. Anyone else have this problem?

I was upset because all of my subs were missing and no matter what I tried nothing would show. Checked the Market and pretty much everyone who had either updated or just installed was rating the app 1 star with the same problem. So definitely has to do with their latest update.
I'm running this older version and its working like a charm. Also if you have your apps set to automatically update, you should go in there and check that off so that you don't accidentally run an update that might cause this type of problem in the future.
I've done it in the past where I will allow automatic updating on all apps, and paid the price when an update just seems to be bad. So double check that in your app settings from the market.
I just use the browser and maximize.

I think I got malware or a app triggering notification ads.

I am getting two ads a day in my Notification Bar. It's odd because I don't download anything from the market that looks suspicious. I also read the comments for everything I download. Does anyone know of a way I can figure out what app is pushing these ads or if there is a app that will scan my phone for malware?

It's probably just some ad sponsored app. Just get AdAway and all your problems are solved.

Get airpush from playstore it will tell you what app is causing it
sent via galaxy s3 on jelly bean
If you find the offending app, you can opt out of their push notifications via a website depending what company is pushing the spam on you. I honestly forget which company it was ... you'll have to go to the playstore and find the offending app and check out the description. I know one of them had instructions on how to opt out.
Wont work for all of them, but you might get lucky.
There is also an airpush opt out app in the playstore as well.

Hi there, give these Apps a go:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appspot.swisscodemonkeys.detector
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.denper.addonsdetector
Don't worry too much, it's just Airpush Advertisements, which are more annoying then harmful.
The above Applications are my recommendations, and work very well.
Cheers.

Done. But no use. 2 more screenshots..
I have had the same annoying pop-up ads that looked like this "your Android memory is too low,please clean it up" or something like that,when I pressed "OK" button I just was redirected to "Du Booster" app. So Ad-blocking app is your friend,and for me the best is Adaway.:good:
I had these starting yesterday. I just had to restore my phone to a backup in the end. I got rid of lots of apps and the aware ones didn't find anything

adblock plus is what i use and it works perfectly.
Adblock Adaway or the xposed mod minminguard. As long as you are rooted they should all stop the adds and pop ups

If you are not rooted the only option is to uninstall the app which is giving you the pop up. I don't know of any pop up blocker that doesn't require root

Yes... I am trying to do the same .. but unable to find the app that is causing it .. most of my apps installed are from reviews from top Android forums and few games only.
I have uninstalled almost 10 apps in suspicion .. but still can't trace the culprit.
Hurray... Finally got hold of the culprit.
It was named com.scloud.... (Didn't remember the full name)
Initially thought it was system app but when going thru all suspicious names found that there is an option to uninstall which is not available for sys apps.
After I installing it alk these ads are gone.
