Where did this app come from?

I was downloading a couple remote desktop apps and all of a sudden I see this "Apps store" icon on my screen. I didn't download this. I can't even see it on my app drawer or under apps in settings. How did I get this? What's the correct way to remove it? Thanks

Look for it in "manage apps" if it's not there check your Web browser links. It might just be a Web shortcut.

thats interesting....download any home screen launchers? sometime those have their own app store for themes and stuff.
 
Same happened to me only my mystery app was texas poker. Not sure which remote desktop app is the culprit because I downloaded three. Pocketcloud, X2, and Teamviewer.

Probably X2 -- had the exact same thing happen. I can't remember what it installed, exactly, but soon after I installed it I started getting notifications like "Hey, this game is now available in the Play Store." I zapped X2 and the app it downloaded, went with Pocketcloud, and presto, no more spam in my notification bar.
