Android Central Question

My Tablet Keeps Installing PUAs Without My Permission. I've Tried Every Solution To Fix This. Factory Reset Doesn't Help Because Nothing Happens When I Do That. Antiviruses Detect Them But As Soon As It Deletes Them They Get Reinstalled After A Reboot. It Seems To Install Certain Apps (Facebook (Fake), ThemePureGreen, Syralilla, Knife Thrower And More) Every Time So I Tried Disabling Them With ADB But They Just Reinstall Themselves. And There Is A Website That Keeps Opening Called Hastopic.com. I Also Find Really Weird Videos On YouTube History. I Am Using A Cheap 100$ Tablet Called IKU T2 With Android 7.0 That Looks Like Android 4.4.2. Keep In Mind That I Have Only System Apps And Reputable Play Store Apps. I Would Appreciate If You Could Help Me Fix This Problem
 
Welcome to Android Central! Cheap off-brand/no-name tablets like that are more prone to having preinstalled adware and possibly malware that can force automatic installation of apps like this. It's also not unusual for devices like this to claim they are running higher versions of Android than they actually have. I would strongly recommend getting rid of that tablet and getting one from a more reputable manufacturer like Samsung, Lenovo, or Amazon.
