Uninstalled preinstalled apps - but they came back.

Earlier, I rooted my SGH-T599. I removed a ton of apps that I was not able to otherwise uninstall (Flipboard, Yelp, Slacker, and about 12 other apps). I've only got 4 apps installed that I chose to download and install, and I didn't have enough room for another app (the storage on this device is pathetic).

Anyway, the apps uninstalled as expected. Just to make sure I didn't take out anything important, I backed up the apps before uninstalling them. Then, to make sure everything still worked, I rebooted the phone. The next thing I know is that I'm getting "such-and-such app needs to be updated," about a dozen times, and my phone actually reinstalled every single damn one of the apps I'd just removed, then updated them.

I couldn't find them listed in the system apps - only the user apps. Is there a particular app I need to remove that is responsible for automatically reinstalling this preinstalled crap?
 
I'm not sure exactly, but some ideas
1-try long pressing the notification to find out what app is generating it
2-it might be something from samsung like Samsung hub or Samsung account. I have almost everything from samsung frozen in my phone.
3-it might be something from your carrier. Try freezing those. I have almost everything from att frozen on my phone.
