Yesterday, a new app appeared on my Galaxy S5 Actually, I'm not sure if it's an app, or just something imbedded in another app that I already have on my phone. When I swipe up from the bottom of the screen, it appears that a page is turning, as if my home screen is being peeled back. Swiping once shows my recently used apps, a second swipe shows toolbox items, and a third swipe shows favorites. There's a search bar at the top, and a balloon in the upper right that has ads and recent headlines. I've attached a screenshot. I don't know what this is, I didn't ask for it as far as I know. Worse, it's completely eating my battery since it's running in the background all the time. I've tried looking at my running apps, and I don't see it. I've tried looking at my installed apps so I can uninstall it, and I don't see it. My phone is running Android version 5.0, and has not had an update since Aug. 13 of this year. Does anyone know what this is?? Or even better, how to get rid of it?? Thank you for any help you can provide!!

Do you have Clean Master installed? That's an option in that program.
