  1. I solved (I think) a similar problem a couple of days ago on a 4.2.2 Android Jellybean low budget rooted phone. I followed a procedure similar to the one found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/fix-monkey-test-time-service-virus-t3194907

     

    and I removed the following files

    /system/xbin/.gap
    /system/xbin/.gap.a
     
    /system/app/.gma.apk
    /system/app/.gmp.apk
    /system/app/.gmtgp.apk
     
    /system/bin/.gap
     
    /etc/install-recovery.sh (a file install_recovery.sh wasn't related to the virus)

    The names of the Viruses in the case I describe were: TimeService, SecurityService and FirewallService
     
    Your tablet has Kitkat 4.4.2. The phone had 4.2.2.
     
    If your tablet is rooted and you install (from PlayStore) Root Browser from JRummyApps, Busybox Installer from JrummyApps and Terminal Emulator from Jack Palevich
    you may be able to remove (for example)  system/priv-app/.gma.apk with the following commands in Terminal Emulator
     
    adb shell
    su
    mount -o remount,rw /system
    cd /system/priv-app
    chattr -iaA /system/priv-app/.gma.apk
    rm /system/priv-app/.gma.apk

    See also the link on xda-developers.
    I have no relationship with Malwarebytes. Ask for a second opinion before doing anything of those I describe because there are dangers from human errors.
