I had the same problem and went into file explorer and deleted the crap that downloaded when i sideloaded an apk. I still had the download from unknown souces ticked but sorted now thankfully.

Cards are just related to Google Now which I use and don't give me any problems.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.
Please select the post that helped you best and mark as the solution. This helps other members in resolving their issues faster. Thank you.

Should be a lesson learned to not let anyone 'play' with your phone. If you do, you could wind up with more than just a little crapware.:smileywink:

Thanks everyone.  I think it may have been a theme from the theme store as it hasn't happened since I went back to default. I'll be much more vigilant with permissions now x

Google now cards weren't my problem definitely. I had to go through the files and delete those responsible.
