Possible virus?

So a friend was calling me at about 1130 last night. I was sleeping, so naturally I ignored it. Then apparently about an hour later, it started calling other people because 2 people gave me angry texts about me trolling and calling at midnight. Another tried to return my call. My call log has no history of dialing anyone around that time, so I can't have been sleep-dialing. It's 330am now, so obviously I can't call the first friend that "called" me to see if they actually dialed me or they somehow spread something to my phone.

There's the symptoms, any diagnosis?

Check your call log on your online account manager?

Change your voice mail password? Once in your voice mail and listening to messages, can't you hit a key combo to call the original caller back?

Your friend wondering who you've been calling?

Yes, I have an Android.

First friend was returning a call he got from me that never came from my phone. Says when he picked the call up, it was playing the Pokemon theme. =/

Went online to access the call logs, someone had at least been trying to access my voice mail once a day for about 3 days now. Changed the password for that. No strange texts or calls went out, according to the logs. So as of right now, I don't have a way to backtrace to this guy. Any ideas?

That, or I somehow ingested Ambien and had a wild time last night with no recollection.

Just in case, I'm going to revert to my stock ROM today anyway. This CyanogenMod is weak and my phone is pretty ancient by Android standards. Can't even play any version of Angry Birds without it being horribly choppy.
