4. Apps connected to your account

Scroll down looking for "Google Apps" (not shown in this screenshot). NOTE: "Google Drive" is NOT, repeat NOT, the same as Google Apps and should not be chosen.

From the Motherboard article, "Locate the 'Google Doc' app. This looks totally legitimate, but it's actually not. If that's the malicious app that's gotten access to your account after you clicked on the link it should have a recent 'Authorization Time.' Now, click on that Google Docs app and click 'Remove'."
