Wink What Does That Notification Symbol Mean?

i have a blackberry storm and i recently got a new notification symbol that is baffling me... it is a circle with an arrow pointing diagonally downward to the left and there is a red star in the top right hand end of the arrow. it looks almost like an arrow through a heart but instead of a heart it is a circle.
please if you could help me unravel this mysterious creature on my phone i would probably scream with giddy pleasure... thank you!

BlackBerry App World App update. Open BlackBerry App World and install the updated app. Or, to just get rid of the icon, open your Messages folder and delete the alert from there.

I would suggest looking in the "Messages" folder if you ever come across another icon you don't recognize. Good chance is that it will end up showing up there.

DAMN useful picture! I re-titled the thread for broader appeal and moved it to the Tips, How To & FAQ Forum! Hope you don't mind Chrisy!

I copied that picture to my pictures on my PC, since I have used it to answer several similar questions already.
