This imo really has to be addressed. AirPush should be classified as PUP and not removed automatically. Just notify the user and make him decide if he wants to keep it or not. The same way Dr.Web is handling AirPush junk and i really like it because of that (and kinda hate avast! for entirely ignoring it). One thing are ads within app in question and another stupid ads being displayed all over your phone where you don't even know which app is doing it.

I personally don't use and never will use any app that is powered by AirPush crap and i want to be notified about it by avast!.
