Why are this icons appearing on my home screen?

---

For some time now this weird icons are appearing on my home scream, is this some sort of spam/virus/adware i got onto my tablet? I don't really know what to do about it, any ideas?

Not sure if it will get you going in the right direction or not... hope you can get rid of them!

BethyM, thank you for the link it was very informative. It looks like "Media Player Classic" was responsible for unwanted ad-ware. I'l get back to you in few days to tell if deleting the app solved the issue.

Thanks again,

Cheers.

You're welcome. I learned some things in the process myself

Wow I didn't even know this was happening. This is pure crap and I hope Google puts a stop to it quickly. This is nothing more than malware when installed without notification or consent and hijacking the browser to boot even after uninstalling offending app. As for the developers using these services and not disclosing it as such you deserve the low ratings and poor feedback receive!

I've learned over the past 2 months of owning an Android device is to always check the reviews before installing any app from the google play store.
