[General] Help, New apps downloading from playstore themselves every night...

I can only assume my daughter clicked on some link while playing Paplinko.
That or subway surfer were the only ad intense apps I had.

Now every night my phone downloads 1 new app directly from the play store.
They even show up on my apps list when I log onto the play store from my computer at home.

Recent unwanted downloads.
Gnome Village-Disney
iTriage-itriage llc
Slotomania-Playtika

I deleted the others.

Anyway I've run just about every antivirus and ad detector in the play store, they all find nothing.
I've factory reset the phone 4 or 5 times and it is still happening.
Removed the memory card and then factory reset but did not reinstall the card. . Still happening.
FDR from the recovery menu nothing helps.

I searched on line but can not find anyone with the same issue. All the apps that have down loaded have good reviews at least. )

No other issues. No web redirects, no short cuts on desktop leading to 3rd party sites.
Everything is normal except for the new app each morning.

Right now the only apps I have legitimately downloaded are:
Tune in radio (paid)
Shush
Snap speed
Alarm clock plus (paid)
Business Calendar free.

I may get a new phone but I'm trying to figure out what this is and if Google or the Play store will
Reload something that is attached to my account when I get the new phone.

Thank for any help you can provide.

Get a Chromebook!

Seriously though, you have to find services that work for you. I buy a lot of my content through Amazon. It's where I have all my mp3s and ebooks. I'm rather fond of Amazon as autorip is a big thing for me since I still like owning CDs but don't own a laptop with an optical drive. Surprisingly though I don't own a Kindle Fire, so video is about all I don't do with Amazon.

By the way, I do use a Chromebook so most of my data is on Google Drive. This is fine but I still have a stack of SD cards and an external drive. Having backups is super important imo and just good computing. Most online storage services (Google Drive, etc.) offer a few gigs of space for free and generally don't purge your data if you stop paying for a sub and have more content than your limit on your account. In Google's case, they let you keep and download the data but you can't upload anything new.

If I didn't have my 100 gbs free from buying a chromebook, I'd probably be cheap and have several different accounts at different sites to take advantage of the free storage.
