ломает гугл кип. при нажатии "параметры фона" у заметки параметры не отображаются. а ещё установлено без моего участия само

После установки данного приложения появилось прям куча всякой всплывающей рекламы в браузере. Плюс при нажатии на любой вкладке, сразу открывается дополнительное окно с какой-либо спамовой рекламой.... в общем и целом - вредоносное приложение.
