Antiviruses aren't available nor required on windows phone!

No there is totaly NO need for a anti virus program. Because there are no viruses on windows phone.

What you could do is a soft reset and clear IE history and check if you still have enough free internal memory.

No normal app would even have the permissions to touch other apps, let alone system files. So there may appear to be a couple, but they are all but certain to be bogus.
