My android tablet, a zoom, has started to download apk's at random without any initiation on my part. I have the don't allow foreign apk's to be installed thing checked so they can't get on to the tablet. Has anyone else caught this? I don't see anything else on the internet about it and I have done a search with Avast to no avail at finding anything.

I suppose that the easiest way to remove it is factory reset. If I do that does google remember all my apps and download them instantly?

Anyway any I'm grateful for any information.

Are you sure that they aren't the updates to the app you've already installed? – roxan Feb 16 at 13:59
Yes, I have no app for hot girls uk installed. I can click the apk, it doesn't install but briefly boots. Pretty sure they are viruses. – user1170304 Feb 16 at 14:46

Go to Settings -> Backup & reset. Then check 'Backup my data' and 'Automatic restore'. An alternative is to use an app like Ultimate Backup or Titanium.
