I think my kid's Eee Pad has malware. How do I get rid of it? As you might expect from a 11 year old, she keeps filling it with games and girly-pop songs. Today, I noticed a strange "pseudo-Market" icon on its home screen:



When you click on it, you get the screen below. Looks like spam to install more games. Lots of these show up in the notification area too, but this "pseudo-Market" icon is a first.

Is there a good scanner to get rid of all this nagware?
