Unknown apps that automatically gets installed without your knowledge. If you see an app or apps on your phone that you have not installed and it has got installed on its own then this too is a sign of malware attack. There are a few rogue apps out there that either contain malware or tracking software. These often come in the shape of free games, memory management apps or free music. In most of the cases, the apps are seen only getting auto-updated if you are joined to a Wi-Fi network.
Stop auto-update for individual apps: If you are turning off the auto-update for all the apps, there is a chance that your apps may get outdated to a risky old version. And, you would not be able to use the latest features that just appeared in a new update. So, instead of turning off updates for all the app, you can prevent the apps individually. The Google Play Store offers a setting you can choose to stop auto-update for individual apps.
That is because, when the auto-update is set, as it was before you disabled it, it set all apps to update. So when google play senses the WiFi, it continues to update the apps that were previously set.
Open Google Play, and "Stop" the current download. This should stop all the updates from continuing. At least, this is what happened in my case. Good Luck. I noticed that too.

I did for some but not all; when I saw something getting updated that I did not want to auto-update, I set the "auto-update" off for it. Some, such as the antivirus program, I left to "auto-update". Help me guys I have already set the play store settings to Do not auto update apps, but still starting update once I activate the Wifi, what to do?
Bottom line is this Google has a problem that Google created and Google needs to solve it. They need to just change it to "Unfortunately, Google Play services now suck". You may wonder why Of course Google sold their soul to the devil with Google adwords but that is another topic. Looks like Microsoft is going to be in business for quite a while. The Google idiots had a chance and instead of leaving the Andriod OS intact they decided to gut it and exploit it The best answers are voted up and rise to the top.
