Search app added to flashlight app

mag load

This was discussed on another thread from December. Downloaded brightest flashlight app and now there is a new search app on my homepage. I deleted the flashlight app, but the search app is still there and I'm worried about malware, virus, etc.

Can someone walk a rookie through deleting this app?

Thanks
 
As I know that search icon is just a link to a web site with advertising.

Shove the icon in the trash.

Didn't found that comment by Lookout in my first post ...

The SDK drops a search icon onto the desktop. Again, we consider bad form, though we don't consider this a smoking gun for malware provided the content that is delivered is safe. In this case, it is simply a link to a search engine
