We discovered that there was manufacturer-installed adware on our new Alps T950S tablet. This adware does not run immediately from day 1 of tablet power-on and in our case it started showing ads a month or two after initial usage. The adware APK masquerades as a Google-supplied APK.
In Part 1, we show you what the adware looks like and how we traced it back to the specific Android package. The techniques used here may apply to other tablets with adware too. Rooting your tablet is NOT required if you want to check if this adware is present, but removal will require ROOTing your tablet.
In Part 2, we show you how to manually disable and remove the adware from your tablet.
