Why am I getting the Error Message: Unfortunately, com.android.server has stopped.?

[AC Question]

Error Message: "Unfortunately, com.android.server has stopped."

Bright-Tab with KitKat 4.4.
I keep getting this warning (Unfortunately, com.android.server has stopped.) popping up onto my screen with only the option to press "ok". I feel like it's caused by DU battery manager and/or DU speed booster as I don't remember them being there when I first started it up and did not download them. (Think it's some sort of adware).
I have tried a hard reset and I am completely unable to uninstall those 2 apps.
Incredibly frustrating.

Welcome to the forums. You reset the device, meaning you set it up like you did when you first turned it on?

OP here, didn't know how to reply without making an account like this.
Yes, I did a full reset. A clean slate (in theory) but those two apps are still there, there is even a new icon on my dashboard labeled "Optimize" that hadn't been there initially. I've had the tablet less than 3 months.

Ignore this, new to forum.

Frankly I'd be fine with the apps staying so long as that message stops popping up every 5 minutes or so.

Sorry for the delay. Maybe try going into settings>storage and click cache. It will pop up if you want to clear it. Click yes. See if that helps.

Thanks for trying to help, there's all sorts of weirdness now though. In addition to the pop up warning I now have an Icon for something called "FarmSlots" appearing on my dashboard and now app for it in sight.

Where do you get your apps?
