This is definetely malware. OP has probably been doing funky stuff with his phone.

No they haven't. This is stuff is commonly installed with updates from the carrier.

Since when did carriers have permission to do this stuff? I don't remember stuff like this happening in 2014...

Ah yeha, sorry, didn't read the Mobile Services Manager. But this is a common malware attack though.
