green star in task bar dropping ads on my moto. what is it? - Motorola Photon 4G

So latley I have been getting a green star in the status bar and when I drop the bar down it is an ad... I have no clue what this is. has any one seen it before? the ads come at random times so i cannot pinpoint what is causing them. I have adfree installed and updated, I froze a few questionable apps such as datacollection and what not via Titanium, but this stupid thing keeps popping up...
Help? please?
Oh yea, Rooted stock locked...

If you want, you can opt out of those ads (there is a link in the notification bar when you get one). Then you can keep those apps or install others without having to worry about being bothered

What are your thoughts? Has your market updated yet?
It look nice, but it has hidden one important feature from me: The ability to set whether apps auto-update or not!! Anyone know a way around this?
not yet.....
i keep checking it every 20 mins....

Is this 2.2.6 or 2.2.7?
Sent from my Overclocked, FroYo'ed-up 2.2.1 EVO 4G
Not sure. The application manager says it's version 2002207. So... 2.2.7?
I didn't receive it, but after clearing the app cache I got it directly

Press on "My apps" and then the app you want to change settings for. Then deselect "Allow automatic updating" in the beginning of the white area.
I meant how to stop the market from auto-updating.
Edit: When I first got that update, the option to stop individual apps from auto-updating was missing. In a recent update it has returned, however.
But I still want the market to stop updating silently in the background. I'd rather it let me know than "SURPRISE! The market has updated against your will! So much for an open platform!"

Love the theme. Noticed the puzzle unlock is a little weird. The circle around the key is oval and the unlock spot is too low.
Also my dialer and market didnt come out themed.. Did I miss something?
Looking forward to updates!

Change the app drawer icon

I dunno if its been posted on here before or not but I thought Id let anyone know that didnt know already
The app drawer icon always annoyed me and Ive wanted something different, you can change the app drawer icon but only using ADW, might be able to do it on other launchers too, but Im not sure Ive only tried it on ADW
Simply long press the app drawer icon and you can change it from the pop up, you can also customize what it does, basically the same as you would on a phone.... dont know why I didnt think of this earlier

Anyone else with ideas? I've not switched launchers for a while!

Looks to me like it's a system or data file that has ended up on your screen as a shortcut.
It shoudn't be there and it's not an app you can launch so when you click on it TW gets confused as it doesn't know what to do with it.
Just remove the shortcut from your screen, it's nothing to worry about and deleting the shortcut wont remove the file
update: Have you installed a Samsung Olympics app from the play store lately? If so it is a data file from that app.
Delete the shortcut like I said and you'll be fine. If you're experiences issues delete the Olympics app and re-install
i believe thats a previous app you just uninstalled.. that icons appears on touchwiz when you uninstall something..

Does any one know why I get these porn popups on android?

Guys im getting this notification spomcered by pormo sites that is really annoying. It pops up on the screen when I download something, a notification saying it has completed download and then has a porn ad beneath it. I have attached a screenshot.

Try uninstalling those system apps that looks suspicious, they may be the ones giving those ads. If not, try factory resetting or flashing stock rom
