A bunch of people have been talking about this. THere are blank app appliations out there but it seems you never installed it. What have you installed recently? Have you updated something? Either way don;t fret, a restore will kill any virus you may have.

I actually noticed (just now) I had these icons too, along with the install 10 blank apps that I did in Crydia. My feeling is that it is within a cydia app we are installing. My most recent apps in cydia are BlackBerry Impression theme and CallMe (update).

I dont have these issues, and i did the call me update with no problems so its not that

I also have them and removed them There from the Blackberry update they are there for people to put them on the top row for the large clock.

Wait, how did you remove them?

[SLapp]

WELL i thought i removed them but like you a respring there back i think the only way to remove them is to remove them from the theme.

I have not yet looked at the difference in the folders. Where are they located in the theme? Kinda silly that they included these... if you have more tha one page you would need more than these 4 anyway (and by default you will have more than one page)

opps

Okay I'm glad you had your questio answered.

No virus, just a false alarm.

[mr.sparky]

I have 21 blank apps installed I love em I think that they can make your spring board really look nice

[SLapp]

/private/var/mobile/Library/WebClips

Found them,If you look at the change log it tells you that it now has webclips added.

im geussing if you remove them then they will go away

[Zman-iPhone]

Thanks guys..

so basically,
either remove the Blackberry theme (which i have and updated today)

or if i want to keep the theme (which i dont care for)
navigate to /private/var/mobile/Library/WebClips and delete it?

thanks again =]]]]

UPDATE

I uninstalled Blackberry Impressions and then deleted Webclips in MobileFinder and did a reboot.

everything is A-OK
thanks everyone
