While it's clear Sliide is based out of London and that they have job ads
for people based in London, what's not clear yet is if the carriers in the
UK are implementing the Sliide activities that the USA carriers are adding.
 <com.sliide.content.MainActivity>

Given Sliide has signed up with at least four different carriers,
it behooves Android owners to check for the known Sliide activities.

This is perhaps the best single command to use to find that "activity".
 $ adb shell dumpsys package | grep -B 2 -A 5 "com.sliide.content.MainActivity"

 C:\> adb shell dumpsys package | findstr /B /C:"com.sliide.content.MainActivity" /S
 PS> .\adb shell dumpsys package | Select-String -Pattern "com.sliide.content.MainActivity" -Context 2,5

Just in case the activity has a different name, we can shorten that to:
 $ adb shell dumpsys package | grep -B 2 -A 5 "sliide"

 C:\> adb shell dumpsys package | findstr /B /C:"sliide" /S
 PS> .\adb shell dumpsys package | Select-String -Pattern "sliide" -Context 2,5

To test the commands above... 

Just in case you do not have this Android activity, this command below
will find launcher activities on almost every Android device out there.
 $ adb shell dumpsys package | grep -B 2 -A 5 "com.android.launcher3.Launcher"

 C:\> adb shell dumpsys package | findstr /B /C:"com.android.launcher3.Launcher" /S
 PS> .\adb shell dumpsys package | Select-String -Pattern "com.android.launcher3.Launcher" -Context 2,5

When you run the command above, let the rest of the team know if you found
Sliide activities. After I deleted the offending package, no more came up.
