unnecessary ads by secure folder

[psbro]

Samsung secure folder is showing hidden notifications and when i open it, it is usually an ad for some new app in the galaxy store.

And sometimes when i opens the notification, it automatically starts to install some app from the store.

Does anybody else have the same problem.

secure folder never shows ads.
it must be some 3rd party apps you've installed which forces you to see the ads.

Dead wrong. The very first sentence of the relevant paragraph in the terms of service -

"YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THIRD PARTY... ADVERTISEMENTS MAY BE AVAILABLE TO YOU THOUGH SECURE FOLDER" (ha! What a crock - "may"!?) one of the few times I've read the terms before agreeing. Anyway, glad I didn't didn't buy into it. Kinda **bleep** because it's supposed to be "secure".

I'm having a similar problem. I keep getting a notification at the top my screen that I have something in this cure folder I need to go see. When I go there it's a damned It's a freaking Microsoft office ad. I do not have Microsoft office installed in my secure folder and yet when I go into the secure folder settings there's Microsoft office all over in there. My Microsoft account is in there, Microsoft office is one of the options for making full screen in there. But in the actual folder there is no Microsoft office. And it keeps popping me up and keeps forcing me to go in there to look at that ad. It's really annoying. It doesn't let you control it or remove it because it's not there to begin with and yet it is in all the settings for the secure folder. It's like malware.
