In the android Market.  It is marked mobile banking (firethorn holdings llc).  This is definitely some kind of virus.  Impossible to get off my phone SGH-I897.  THE android market reviews are horrible.  Everyone is having problems removing this thing.  HELP. N4L

Hi there:

"Mobile Banking" is the stock banking "bloatware" app that came pre-installed on your phone.  Rooting would be the only way to remove it.

In the interim, you can uninstall any updates you've downloaded.


Also, market description indicates the app will no longer be available for use or download as of 1/1/12. 


It's not viral/malicious to the extent that Dr. Web Antivirus ok'd it.
