HiddenAd

HiddenAd is a detection name used for a wide variety of adware working on Android devices. The fake applications that exhibit adware-like behavior might be hosted on various Internet locations, and even on the official Google Play Store. The good news is that HiddenAd is not unsafe, but you can rest assured that having it running on your Android device will be a very annoying thing to experience. This adware will display advertisements in active Web browser windows, on top of your favorite applications, and even in the phone's notification area. Of course, such intrusive advertisements are unlikely to contain entertaining content – instead, the HiddenAd adware may focus on promoting shady websites, products and services.

Of course, the HiddenAd adware will not hide in plain sight, and it might be incredibly hard to remove it manually even if you are aware of its presence. Adware of this type often may hide its icon from Android's application menu, and you may fail to find it in the list of installed applications since it will use a blank name and icon. Furthermore, it may try to plant its files in several folders to make its removal more difficult.

If you suspect that your Android device has HiddenAd or other adware active on it, we advise you to run a reputable Android anti-virus application, which can help eradicate the undesired applications.
