Ad Muncher is free now.
AdBlock Plus is a must have (both smartphone and PC).

Another reason you cannot go without a decent Adblocker against malvertisements is: http://malware.dontneedcoffee.com/2015/01/unpatched-vulnerability-0day-in-flash.html

Obvious we cannot push the Adblocker aside,

Hi Lisandro,

Certainly is via banners for subscription scam apps, like lifelong ringtones etc.
A way to protect is to use  Disconnect: https://disconnect.me/ -> https://disconnect.me/mobile/disconnect-malvertising
