I disagree that this is Plankton. In fact, it can be argued whether it is malware at all, although I personally am inclined to classify it as such.
ReplyDeleteThese apps just use the AirPush/Apperhand aggressive ad networks.
The name plankton is correct, but the problem functionality present in the original plankton - the ability to download and execute arbitrary dalvik code from the net - was removed from the later versions called Apperhand. So this is not malware, it is classified as a PUP.
ReplyDeletethank you for corrections, I added that it is just related adware :)
