Unwanted App

I think you're just referring to the shortcuts on the homescreen? just press and hold it, then drag it to the trash bin.

 

Very interesting I have not installed anything in awhile and today as I swithched back to the home screen an Icon popped up called Droid Apps & Games. I have no idea where or how it got there but I immediately dragged it to the trash. No other icon or app when I checked installed apps. I am not a gamer no games installed other than what maybe on phone it's self. Not sure what to think of it.

 

Some apps do push AirPush spam ads after they are updated.

Did you check your apps with an AirPush detector like Lookout's Ad Network Detector?

Thank you no I haven't, this is the first I have heard of such a thing. I currently am using Avast, I'll investigate and see what it all about. It kinda freaked me out I thought it might be some kinda virus.

I just used an AirPush detector and it was the app I just installed before mothers day to send a SMS card. Uninstalld the app. Pretty crazy that they can try to slide things/AD's right under your nose. VERY HELPFUL THANKS!!

 

Its not Airpush. Airpush puts ads on your notification screen, not app shortcuts.

 

I was wondering about that I never got any notification bar ads, the app did come up positive for the AirPush ads. Just installed a blocker too. I hope it's nothing to be to worried about, the short cut that is.

 

As I know AirPush puts shortcuts of web sites on the home screen, not shortcuts of apps.

This shortcuts of web sites you can just shove in the trash bin.
