It's highly unlikely your phone has a virus, as Android operates on a permissions basis. I think it's more likely push advertising, which acts a lot like a virus and is just as annoying. Try downloading and running Ad-Network Scanner. If it finds anything, it will ID the culprit and it's up to you to decide if you want to keep or uninstall it.
