Random pages keep opening up on my android ZTE phone. When I check recent apps open they are not there at all! What should I do? If I have a virus, how would I go about deleting it?
 
Solution
Most likely you installed a fake or spyware app.
You need to locate and get rid of it.
If you have a hard time figuring it out, go to app store and get an antivirus

I found the app in downloaded apps. It's unnamed and when I tap it comes up with its options. However, I am unable to uninstall, force stop or even clear data cache as they are grayed out. I will try the antivirus to see if that works. Thanks for the help
 
Yea the antivirus I installed worked. The virus had made itself an administrator of my phone so I had to undo that before I was able ti uninstall. Thanks heaps for the help guys!
