It seems most people who are having problems with their iPhones are the ones who jailbroke/unlocked them.
That's likely the cause.
That's likely the cause.
It's jailbroken - Apple aren't going to touch it. If it only started this morning, did you install a new app yesterday? Or the day before? It's more likely to be a developer announcing his or her name's in lights in an unwittingly clumsy way that buggers up the phone, than a virus. If you think it is a virus, restore your phone, jailbreak it again, and be sure of the provenance of your apps before you reinstall them. I'm sure it's just an easter egg placed by some ego developer of one of your jailbreak-apps. It's probably this sort of stuff (among other things) that Apple screens for when they get submissions to their store.
