It is quite difficult to identify which is infected by malware. Premium rate SMS Trojans are the most common type of mobile malware.

"There are a few steps to follow when you realize your phone is acting strangely.

1) Switch off GSM module or take out your SIM card immediately.

2) Restore your phone back to factory setup.

3) Put your SIM card back, and you can use your phone again."

I hope this will solve your problem

I'd agree with Francesca. I think it wouldn't matter what app it will be because if it's infected, it's highly possible that it's spread out already even if you will uninstall that app.
