How to get rid of DU Speed Booster and ALL it's GARBAGE?

So, on my tablet a purely nasty piece of software is installed called DU Speed Booster, I didn't install it just appeared on there one day. I've tried resetting twice after which it seems worse. It installs plenty of rogue apps which are called many weird and wonderful names to make them sound trustable to a true noob. It has placed an unwanted search bar in my pull down alert list, opens random tabs when I'm browsing and tries to download files through the browser.

Understandably I want to get RID of it. The question is, how? As I mentioned I have tried resetting, and disabling it from the app setting to no avail, so I come to LTT. How do I get rid of it?

The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it. :P

Didn't you notice the "/s" ? Sorry.

If I ask a sensible question I expect sensible answers.
