So i just came out of work and i turn on my n900 and to my surprise theres this icon that says hello! in big red letters.
Do you know anything about it? any idea on how it got installed by itself?
btw the name of the app is pwnitter

Go into application manager and unistall it.
if you can't find it load up xterm and look at
ls /usr/share/applications/hildon/

i'm guessing it's pwnitter.desktop

do a cat /usr/share/applications/hildon/pwnitter.desktop

look at the
exec=
line to see the executable.

maybe google it abit then remove the .desktop and the executable file.

on some apps the icons are a blue box after installing.
It's only after the reboot, where the actual icon appears and that's when you go...
hello!
hahahahahahahahaha

ok, i'll stop now...


hello!
hahahahahahahahaha
