Welcome to Android Central! You probably have some malware on the device. Does this persist after a factory reset? If so, then the malware probably installed itself to the system root, which would require you to reinstall the whole firmware.

Similar thing happened to me and I performed factory reset the problem continued. I performed factory reset again and what is being displayed is that the "system IU has stopped working ". This has made my phone running on Android 4.2.2 not being used. Once I switch on the it will write the same thing. Can anyone assist me restore my phone. Cletus Nwokoro.

So I had a similair problem the easiest way to fix this ( in my case ) was to download AVG for your mobile. He will then block these files. He doens't remove them but at least you dont need to worry about them anymore
