Help How do you eliminate a spam app?

[shigglyboo]

I'm not sure which app brought the spam with it, but there's an app on one of my desktop screens called "DROID App", and it's got a picture of two dice with the words "apps & games" written on it. If you open it the browser launches and takes you to"livemobile" something and then redirects to "partners.handango.com/smartphone/etc."

It's a total invasion, the app isn't listed in my applications list and I did not create the shortcut. I can delete the icon (no option to uninstall), but in a few days it'll come back. I think it may have come along with a taxi app I installed.

I'd like to figure out what app it is and uninstall it, then report the bastards. Anybody encountered this before?

I would try loading Ad Network Detector from Play. When you run the app, it will tell you which apps are allowing what and you can pick your deletes from there.
