If it's Verizon branded, does this help?

Actually, even if it isn't Verizon branded, you can try disabling the Mobile Services Manager.

Yes, it is Verizon branded. I see I have Mobile Services Manager disabled already, but I can't remember if I disabled it before or after the last time I had random apps show up.

Thanks for the information. :Thmbsup: Hopefully this is the end of random apps showing up on this device, but I'll definitely be keeping my eye out for further misbehavior.

My Samsung Android phone has certain apps that I simply cannot delete or stop from upgrading.  Very annoying.

As a follow up, I haven't seen any new random apps being installed since making sure the Mobile Services Manager was disabled. :Thmbsup:
