Additional Details

AdOp.A arbitrarily creates shortcuts and advertisement motivated notifications that link to a website or another application. The application that users is being led to may not be present on the device, but that does not stop AdOp.A from creating its corresponding shortcut.

AdOp.A is not directly harmful to the device, but it may pose some risks if the shortcut or notification leads users to a questionable website.
