Anybody Heard Of This?

I was going through my apps the other day, and this app called ShowMee was in my list. I didn't download this app but there it was. I believe it's a virus of some sort. I can't remove it through any means. Lookout mobile security doesn't red flag it at all. I tried my computer's virus scan, and it doesn't recognize it either. So I was wondering if anyone has heard of this strange app? BTW, I didn't install it, but the ShowMee icon is in my app list.

Word to the wise. Don't downlaod any strange apps. Check the reviews and also the download count. It's been known that there's trojan apps in the market.

Thanks for the info! The "easy uninstaller" app revealed something I didn't see before, the "ShowMee " app is tied in to my sipdroid app! Boy! I feel like an a**! Thanks for your help Snowwy66!!
