I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. The phone is rooted. The problem is that it installs apps without my permission.
some examples: something like "com.android.developer" and today it istalled "DU battery saver" without my permission. I wasnt even using the phone, and that app was installed.

How do i fix this?

Sounds like malware. Unless they were there already and you didn't realize. But if not, you have probably installed a malicious app. Never install apps from untrusted sources, especially on rooted phones.

Two questions. 1) Did you root your phone yourself or did someone do it for you? and 2) Do you rely only on Google Play to install apps, or do you use a mix of both Play and manually installing 3rd party apps?

1. I rooted myself.

2. mainly Google play. rarely 3rd party apps.

I downloaded "360 mobile security" from Google play. It managed to find app called "com.android.provider.confirm" and the app said it was "Trojan" and it was flashed into System directory, so 360 security wasn't able to remove it. i managed to remove it with app called Root uninstaller. I think i should be fine now.

Yeah, let's hope that fixed your problem. (fingers crossed)
If you haven't already, you might want to install a firewall app like DroidWall, it will give you control over which apps and processes can get through your WiFi and your cellular connectivity.

(as a side note, I also like 'NoRoot Firewall'. it's a pretty good firewall for non-rooted phones.)
