Hello, welcome to the forums! Those apps that you mentioned seem related to Memory Boost. I've seen different reports in this forum about the same problem. Check if you have that app installed in your phone and uninstall it. Maybe you'll need to uncheck it first in the device administrators list under your security settings. I'd recommend you to uninstall any of those so called "cleaner" or "booster" apps, sometimes they could do more harm than good. Plenty of problems related to them. Tell us how it goes.
i am also facing the same problem , i tried many ways but the result was the same timeservice and monkey test comes again and again. i have mailed to micromax service center many times they didnt even responded. finally i decided to visit service center and did so. They said the problem is with all the devices with model micromax canvas nitro a310, and the company will release an update soon. One month passed away not any update from the company and if i visit the service center they just escape saying that it may take more15 days, sorry for the inconvenience. I was a fan of micromax once but i would never prefer or advice micromax gadjets to anyone, its just waste of money and time.
Hello.. I'm using Micromax A104.. Recently I tried to uninstall some preloaded apps to make some space to update other apps. I got a warning that by uninstalling this app other apps might misbehave.. I'm fed up now.. some apps like CM Locker, DU speed booster, Olacabs, redbus, Omniswipe, vSharemarket and some more just get downloaded automatically.. I've uninstalled these apps like 50 times now.. this happens everytime I get connected to the internet thereby loosing my data. at times it consumes all my data.. Please suggest some remedy at the earliest coz I'm fed up with this uninstalling business..

I had the same problem and there are viruses in your mobile -on the rootof it .
Solution : At first you must root your device and then try any antimallware software for rooted devices.
After that restart your device and root your device again .All ads and downloads will stop.
Good luck

You need to delete / remove the app thats doing the downloading... in addition to the downloaded apps.
If it were me, I would start by uninstalling any app thats not absolutely necessary. So that means any app thats redundant and performs tasks already being done by the android OS. battery optimizers, RAM / memory optimizers, screen brightness widgets, flashlights...etc.
Uninstall or at least deactivate all un-needed bloatware from either the manufacturer or carrier. The bloatware that is needed, you should scan through the permissions and turn off any that are not needed.
Any apps that weren't downloaded from playstore or a known / trusted developer site should be treated as potentially malicious, and targeted for deletion.
One thing I ALWAYS do before downloading any app is I will google search the App name and developer (separately). "Is cheetah mobile safe?"... "Is battery doctor safe?". Any app or developer with history or www discussions centering around malicious activity, I read up on and make the keep or kill decision based on that.
I think you might have to clear cache too, and you should consider doing a factory reset. If your device is rooted... thats another layer of procedures you will need to go through. (which frankly I don't know)
