The best conditions to solve this problem is by doing hard reset using menu setting at #option 1 steps above, because your Sony Xperia C still can boot normally. After finish hard reset or master format, please do not install with previous Gmail login account. You can try to create new Google account and test to use your phone several hours, usually it will not install any unknown anymore as far as you are only install recommended software like Facebook or Whatsapp or something like that.
