Earn cash icon in File Manager

[Android Central Question]

An Earn Cash icon has appeared over the top of file manager on my Lenovo Tab 10 and I am getting pop-ups, malwarebytes does not find anything and I don't have any dodgy apps. Any help?

I have the same problem on my Lenovo 10 with that infuriating icon which refuses removal!

Welcome to the forums. Which file manager are you using? Do you have any app by CM (Cheetah Mobile) installed in your phone?

@papsjean, I saw something like that on my Lenovo Tab 4 8, and I'm pretty sure it's due to the preinstalled file manager app, which is the same as this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chaozhuo.filemanager. Uninstall it, and install something else like Total Commander or File by Google.

Pretty lame of Lenovo to include this as a preinstalled app, but at least you can get rid of it. Prior to the Oreo update, the tablet also came with that terrible keyboard app TouchPal as the default (along with something like 100 language packs). When it updated to Oreo, it was thankfully removed.
