Identify which app it is and delete it. Sorry, but that's the real cure, anything else is just trying to treat the symptoms rather than the disease.
Welcome to Android Forums, Laming19961!
Please post a screenshot of the app in System Settings. Also, the name of the app and its Play Store link would be helpful. I'm assuming you installed it from Play; if that's incorrect, please tell us where you got it--again, a link to it would be helpful.
You might try starting the device in safe mode and see if you can uninstall it then.
Worst case scenario, you might need to do a factory reset.
Just to be clear, you installed it, but now in your System Settings, its only option is 'disable' [not 'uninstall'], but it's grayed out so you can't disable it? Uh-oh!
