how do I stop the running apps

[t530]

I have many running apps. My systems going crazy. How do I get my system back from the hackers or whatever has taken it over ?
What little I do know how to do (with settings and such) just seems to make it worse. Can anyone help me out with this?

I have only added app from Google play. So I don't know. Are all apps on GP safe?

I think there are lots of cleaning apps on Google Play, like Advanced task killer, Clean Master. Meanwhile, You can force close the running apps in system after Android System Setting without download additional apps.

N E V E R use apps like that! And never install apps written by companies that write apps like that - writing an app like that says that you don't know anything about how Android works, so I don't trust any of their apps. I've tried all the "cleaner" apps, and the easiest way to speed up my phone was to uninstall the one I was testing.

It sounds more like a malware problem. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and a good antivirus app (the best, IMO, are Avast Mobile Security & Antivirus, AVG AntiVirus Security, Avira Antivirus Security and Kaspersky Internet Security [in alphabetical order - they're all good - and they're all free]). Don't start them at the same time, because they use a lot of resources the first time they run. Install Malwarebytes, let it run until it finishes its first run - which could take a day or two, depending on how many apps you have installed. Then install an antivirus app (only 1 - don't run more than 1 on any computer) and let it run until it finishes its first run - which, again, could take days. Then just leave them running. Then check apps as you install them - otherwise they use very little resources just sitting there.
