    Fake apps

    I have app icons that are popping up on my opening pages. When I go to settings to try and remove them they do not show in list. I then touched on a couple and it takes me to the install page. Can anyone tell me how to remove the icons?

    Thanks,
    Jim

    Its one of the apps you downloaded putting those up. Probably a live wallpaper. Try to locate which app with an app that locates other apps that spam you.

    Its just a short cut. Drag it up to the x and its gone. Like a bookmark shortcut.

    thanks twowheelz. I do not have an X on my screen and when I try to drag the icons do not move. I am an older user, so I may not understand some of the operations. Any other suggestions?
