Hi all,
I'm new here so I hope I didn't post in the wrong place.
So I have an Android tablet : Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1

Some days ago I installed some Gift Card app, one of those where you have tasks like watching videos, installing apps, trying out games etc...

I did install couple of them and I think one of them had a malware in it or something, because since then, my tablet installed bunch of apps randomly and I keep getting weird white screen with "launcher loading" on it every time I go online.

I tried to reset my tablet twice but, I still have problems, every time I go online I get this "launcher loading" white screen for couple of seconds, and then i get a black screen with a menu on top that says Services that stays there for some time before it disappears, not only that but if I keep my tablet online, it installs random stuff that I can't find in the apps menu, only shortcuts on the main screen, random stuff like "Demo, Demo, Facebook, Sex Club".

My tablet also restarts by itself if I stay connected to the internet and resets the language to German from English.

I really need help fixing these problems, any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
