Hello!

I have seen this before, but it was based on a carrier specific device. Is the device in question perhaps a Verizon branded phone? There is a service installed on every device called "DT Ignite". This service has the ability to install apps at any time. You can disable it by going to Settings > Apps/Application Manager > DT Ignite > Disable

If its not a VZW branded phone you could potentially have a bigger issue on your hands!
