Checking online, it seems that this is not an unknown problem with malware on Android phones. But installing various well-reviewed malware apps from the google play store shows nothing in the scans.
Any recommendations for the best free anti-virus to leave installed. Would upgrading to the 5.0 firmware help, do you think?

to be sure
do an hard reset, going back to manufacturer installation.(like you receive the new phone), then install the apps you trust
of course save books, documents, music you need in advance
Is the most widespread operative system in the world, is normal these things can happen.
you could even try download some malware, anti virus from google play, but I would go for an hard reset to be on the safe side/
you pdurant really unlucky, before crashed the phone, then viruses!
