I highly doubt your Droid is infected.
Have you reset your phone?
Are you running a home replacement (ADW, Launcher Pro, Zeam, Go Launcher...)?
Ok, I'll give the re-power a shot...should I pull the batt also? is that what is referred to as a re-set?
Thanks a for the responses!

There is a soft reset and a hard reset.
Soft reset is done by rebooting the phone or just powering off then on. This can refresh your phone or even a battery pull can help with minor issues.
Hard Reset is going to give you a noticeable difference in speed. You can find the option to do so in your settings and privacy where it says FACTORY DATA RESET. I have droid1, but yours should say the same. This is going to wipe your phone back to scratch. It deletes all the data, cache, applications, etc. All applications that your purchased will still be listed after a hard reset in the market. You can just easily redownload. I'd recommend writing down the free ones you have just in case though cause those aren't always saved.
orrr
for apps, use astro file manager to save your apps for easy re-installation. I've never done it myself, so wont give the steps but know it's possible so do a search. It's not hard at all either way. Hard reset is good on occasion.
Launcher Pro and the apps listed above are home replacement apps. They give your phone a different look and feel with dozens of cool options. Some actually make your home screen snappier (launcherpro in my experience) but I guess could slow your phone over time if there's too much cache or you're using a LOT of widgets. I don't use as many widgets these days and my phones been pretty quick for even the moto1. Widgets are always reupdating and using data which is why they can slow your phone.
Last but not least, download History Eraser. It erases your call info, market history, google map history, gmail search history, etc.
