Why is my Lava Iris x8 constantly being attacked by malware? What should I do?

[AC Question]

Need help! (lava iris x8)

My phone is continuously attacked by malware. Some unwanted applications are continuously being installed by their own. I tried to uninstall them several time but they reinstalled again every time. I also scanned them by antivirus applications but it never showed any change
Some of those applications are
1.Monkey Test
2.Time Service
what should I do now?

Some free apps will cause this instead of pop up advertisements. I've been fortunate enough not to run across one of those myself, but I think once you figure out which app is downloading the other apps, uninstalling it should stop it. It could have been a new app you installed, or an existing one that was updated.

I want an answer to the above query. I have unwanted apps that got installed, and inspite of uninstalling them, they come back in a jiffy. e.g, Monkey test, Times service, omni swip, easy touch. Could somebody help with a solution.

I had same problem I installed Avira antivirus, it found malware which was causing problem and uninstalled it. Believe me it really works. You cant find that malware in application manager.
