I am having the same problem.  Suddenly, an app will appear that I have not installed and it even appeared on my home screen.  Is there a way to uninstall an app or even delete it?

Settings > Apps > all tab > scroll down to the application > select it and uninstall.

You might also want to download an ad detector application like Lookouts version. From your description, it might find some rogue application for you to get rid of.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Hello carriepotts and thank you to the community members for your valuable input! I'm also confident that I can help you find a solution to your concerns. Which applications are you referring to? Some social media applications like Facebook or twitter run in the background by design unless the settings are changed to have it do otherwise. Please provide me with a few more details.
