I have a Xiomi Redmi HM1SW with android 4.3 and MIUI.

I notice one month ago that some process is installing apps in my desktop that I don't selected.

How can I disable this option? or kill this malware app?

Thanks,

    what apps have been installed? And what apps have you installed on your device? We need more information... – benjamin Oct 14 '15 at 8:13

    That's most likely some app you've installed from "another source", which brought a Trojan along (could also have made it to Playstore – but "other sources" are more likely). So anything you've installed shortly before these auto-installs started? Also, some names of what gets auto-installed might give a clue. – Izzy♦ Oct 14 '15 at 8:20

If you install security 360 from Google play, it should find all malware, and help you remove it.

  • "it will find all malware" -- a very bold claim! How do you know it will find all the malware? Please back your claim with credible technical sources. Also, given the current length and breadth, this rather seems to be a comment than an answer (IMO). – Firelord♦ Oct 19 '15 at 0:33

It is likely to be a market. Check the use of data because the app must be leeching data to download apps. If it has a huge amount of data and is an android market, uninstall it.

  • I don't think an app has the ability to install another app, however I could be wrong. – Ethan Z Oct 14 '15 at 18:05
