It has done this more than one time please help I don't know what I should do. Is it a bad virus or no
 
If you think it has a virus there are several vendors that have phone anti-virus programs. I use AVG.

You can also do a reset to factory defaults after you back up your data.

Past that, it may be a hardware issue, battery or maybe the actual board and chips.
