Tapjoy - Unwanted ad/content
Anyone notice a Tapjoy folder being created on your GN without your knowledge? I noticed this over the weekend, as the images appeared in my gallery. I researched a bit, and found they are a legit advertising company. However, this doesn't sway me from wanting to prevent them from placing pics/videos or whatever junk on my phone. I can't even find which app I installed that put the stuff on there. Anyone have any advice? Should I be worried about getting it off my phone?
Side note: The Tapjoy website has a 'opt-out' option... but I am suspicious. I also found an interesting post over on AndroidCentral:
Quote:
People defending TapJoy, read their privacy policy. They're not innocent.
If you opt out, and then later visit one of their sites, then they can still track you. You just opt out of getting notified.
There's several reasons why Apple is constantly trying to ban them from their App Store.
I only hope that Google follows suit soon.
If it smells like a virus, acts like a virus, and pisses you off as much as a virus.....
