hi guys

i got up in the morning and took my phone off charge as normal. but 12 o clock ish i went to look at my e mails when i saw that the battery was only at 5%, i had not been using it at all in the morning. i did not suspect anything and put it back on charge. 3 hours later i took it off charge, the battery was really hot!!! so i thought that there might be a virus so i tried to install a anti virus app, play store (No connection). so i go to my computer and try to install it from there(does not install on the phone). i am now getting really worried that my phone is infected with a virus and it is draining up the battery and stopping the usage of the phone.

i have a Samsung galaxy mini and my android version is 2.3.5
 
I'd go straight to the recovery menu and do a factory reset from there:

Hold down the Home and Power button at the same time. Release once the Galaxy logo appears and wait. Navigate the menu with the volume keys.
