    Will it kill virus
    I don't know any antivirus for mobiles?
    Any of the Usual Suspects will do AVG etc, and maybe stop visiting "dodgy" sites on your phone.
    Pop up adds and such will cause problems .
    Google "DNS66" and use it when browsing in general will stop 99% of pop ups and adverts.

    You dont need to know any. Goto the playstore and put virus in.

    There are lots of fake antiviruses around. I'd be careful.

    MalwareBytes has a free anti-malware scan. Probably worth a go.

    Otherwise, you could back up everything that's on your phone and do a factory reset?
