I just unlocked (Slide to Unlock/not Carrier Unlock) my phone and there was a new page of apps. These apps have no icon and I have never seen them before.
I havn't gone to any website I don't normally goto, and I tried to delete them but they have no X to delete them.I only sync my iPhone with my laptop although I do charge my iPhone with my work computer occasionally (but no iTunes installed there) I'll try to get a screen shot soon.
Yeah, these definitely sound like some kind of malware in the way they are acting. I'd be really interested to see how you picked these up. Have you by any chance taken them to the Apple store, and if so, what did they say?
I've noticed they go away when I reboot the phone but if I install any new apps from the app store or any updates to apps they re-appear. I'll try to get my post count higher so I can post a picture.
Also, Wont be able to get to the Apple Store until sometime next week due to work. If I goto the search screen on the iPhone and type in any of those app names i listed earlier they appear too but they don't on my friends iPhone.
That helped a bit, a lot of back and forth on what does what and when between everyone though. Although I suppose that will always happen unless its publicly stated by Apple.
If it is some kind of pre-installed background code, it's weird that it would just randomly show up like that. And you would think that others would have seen this problem before now.

I agree. If we somehow all have these "app files" or whatever in the background of our iOS, then they shouldn't show up as icons on the home screen unless there's an error in the program writing with the OP's specific device. If that's the case, I would imagine that Apple would do something to fix it for the OP. Whether it be swapping it out or what have you. Just an assumption, though.
Very interesting, I wonder if it is test software from Apple ... Could swear I saw a screen shot with a "Trust Me" app on it from a ebay prototype that was being sold on ebay "the auction was quickly removed."
