Mikeyjoe: Seems you were downloading applications from sources other than the Playstore. You must have ignorantly installed an app which connects to your Playstore and triggers downloads of useless apps to boost their download ratings. My only suggestion is to flash a clean ROM and possibly change your Google password. 1 Like |

What kinda apps? Time Service and Monkey test? Maybe you installed an app that downloads apps automatically, even though you still have to authorize the installation unless the app has superuser access. |

Mikeyjoe: What's the name of the app? What is the name of your phone? |

Mikeyjoe: The best option is to flash a clean ROM. An alternative way is to freeze these apps which I wouldn't recommend. https://whadatobexy./2015/07/20/my-frustrating-experience-with-timeservice-monkeytest-and-other-auto-installing-android-apps/ You can also try out this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/fix-monkey-test-time-service-virus-t3194907 |

Mikeyjoe:If they come back after uninstalling, youay need to root your phone to freeze them. Alternatively, if you see an option to disable the apps go ahead. |

Download lookout security and use it to scan your phone, next you need to delete/uninstall all apps marked as virus/harmful. Note the virus has affected some system apps u just have to use es file Explorer to Uninstall them. For system app only the update will be Uninstall. Do don't panic while uninstalling system app. Good luck Your phone have to be rooted in order for you to Uninstall system apps |
