File Commander ads

[Aeonslyx]

Can someone explain to me why the File commander started to show ads at the bottom of the screen. I've been using same free preinstalled version for months and there were no ads at all. Now, I see ads even when wifi is off. I've tried updating, clearin cache, settings, even hard reseting phone and scaned with most antivirus programs but nothing helps. Ads are there, slowing down folder browsing. Why did they appear now?

Hi,

Random ads, above soft keys, sometimes between folders and when I try to exit File Commander full screen ad appear. App now opens and operate very slow because of this. Very annoying. The problem is that this app is preinstalled by sony, so its the only file manager that can write to sd card on kitkat.

True, but there were no ads in FC at all for months, I use the same app version. Few ads are no problem, however to have 2 ads (bottom & middle) at the same time and each time you open or close app or just open settings you get full screen ad? Well, that is just annoyng.

I understand but it's not a Sony app.

FileCommander just recently started to show ads, you are not having hallucinations! Due the fact I use the pro version I don't get them but my wife recently told me she get ads in her, that is the free version.
