Wifes S3 downloading weird apps?

[DMGrier]

So about a week ago my wifes S3 started downloading a app a day on it's own. We couldn't figure out if maybe she download a Malicious app so she just did a factory reset and even with the stock apps installed the phone keeps downloading a app per day, any ideas. Sounds like a virus but highly unsure.

Just any random app?

Apps can be installed remotely from the Google Play website, if someone has her password they could do it that way. Try changing her Google password.

Yeah, completely random apps. She will pick up her phone and in the task area say that a app was installed.

She is doing a reset on her google password as we speak and hopefully that fixes the issue.

So my wife yesterday changed her google account password and today her phone downloaded another app when she was not on there, any other ideas?
