I tweak my android phone to enable glo blackberry subscription. after using it for some time, I notice some apps installing them selves and they pop up automatically, when I uninstall or disable them, they reactivate them selves when I turn on my phone.
This keeps my phone lagging most times.
they came back even after factory reset.

some of the apps
txvpn
Omacp
mobileOcr
measure
engiks
etc

please, how do I deal with this problem?

Reset Factory Settings

I did factory reset and I still found them in my phone.

You don't have an anitvirus innit?

I also had the same problem, its a malware that is doing that. Go to ur file manager and show hidden file's u will see .walkfree, that's were all d automatically downloaded apps goto.
SOLUTION: GO TO PLAYSTORE AND DOWNLOAD MALWAREBYTES ANTI-MALWARE. Run a full scan and it will fix everything.

BYE.

Your phone is as good as dead. It is not the rooting that caused it . It is the anyhow ways you download apps. You have been installing apps outside Google play . Ghost push virus

Guy no worries.
Download and install purify (kinguser) app. Open it and
Check for bloatware or which ever way you can locate them. Then Uninstall them.
Note: this was how i fixed my Gees phone with similar issues last time.

Stop downloading anyhow app you ain't familiar with on the net!!!!
Eg, Battery savers, lockers and other fancy stuffs.
They are malwares i tell you.

very true.

Op, when u manage to get out of this, continue tweaking and downloading every useless apps from the net. IPhone faithfuls will say android is prone to virus but the truth is it is the users that invite the virus into their phones by trying to form commando with their phones. Apple made their OS a closed system to avoid this kind of things and it is working for them, at least people are not saying iphones are prone to virus.

op, just download cm security and stubborn Trojan killer (works best when root is enabled ) ..Scan the device with cm security first if the virus persist, use stubborn trojan killer

No!
Purify is provided by Kingroot app.
If you already rooted your phone with kingRoot, you should have purify by default.
But if not, no problem it can be downloaded separately.
