I downloaded the flash loader (or something) thingy and now it invites quite a lot spam ads. How to disable the ads?

There is no need to install any antivirus. Just be careful when downloading apps. If you get it from google play store, it should be relatively safe. If you are getting it from questionable sources, then google the file and see what others are saying.
Antivirus is a waste of your device's battery and processing power. Never used one and didn't get infected.
Actually, BEFORE you install anything, look at the App's Permissions. This is ALWAYS shown to you before installing.
Be wary of apps that need to make SMS or Phone calls or Full Network access, if they do not actually have those functions.For example, some wallpaper apks need Phone Status and Full Network access, which is quite fishy.
Best kind of apps are those that "Needs no special permissions to run".
For launcher apps, they need to make SMS and Phone calls because, well, it launches your SMS and Phone app.
Some games also make all kinds of permissions, partly coz they are adware....
For the paranoid, you can install LBE Privacy Guard, or wait till someone ports Pdroid for GN2.
Basic ad-killing will work with root and AdFree, a free app.

Download AddsOn Detector app from market. Install and let the app scan all your apps. Once finished..you can know which app responsible bringing the push ads. Freeze or un-install that app.
Hmm, new to me, I'll give that a spin.
Thanks.
