My 6 year old son's Hudl has been infected with malware (courtesy of Google Play) and I can't get rid of it. I've tried:

A software factory reset (from settings)
A factory reset (power & vol+)
Malware bytes
Eset

The two scanners highlight the problems, offer to resolve them but then fail to do so.

The hardware factory reset claims to clear all user data but either that's not true or the malware has bypassed Android's 'security' and put it's cr4p somewhere in the system files (the tablet is not rooted).

Not only has this malware come courtesy of the Play Store but the content he can access is supposedly restricted but this damned malware keeps trying to install 'porn hub' on his tablet. When I click 'cancel' for the install it just tries again 2 secs later (well thought out Google!)

Anybody got any ideas how I can get his Hudl back into a usable state?
