something doing stuff on its own?

Hello!

So I don't really know what's going on but I kinda have a little problem. Here's the story.

So I kinda got bored of the old HTC look so I decided to try out a windows 7 launcher. I got Launcher 7 and loved it right out of the box. (Free version) I also got WP7 lock screen pro to go along with it to round out the windows 7 feel. I absolutely adored this setup, save does the frequent resetting of the WP7 lock screen that I had to do so that the stock lock screen wouldn't show up after unlocking the windows lock screen. But that's another story.

So anyways I noticed every once in a while a random window would be open after unlocking the phone. I never really cared but thought it was odd since I always hit the home button before I unlock the screen. Recently however, some crazy things have happened.

One time I unlocked my phone to find that Facebook messenger was open onto a contact's screen ready to send a new message. Another time I unlocked the screen to find that Skype Wifi was downloaded from Dolphin Browser's app drawer!. Just now, the final straw, I found that my yahoo! Mail was open ready to send a recommendation for a Zedge wallpaper or something to someone, waiting for me to pput an address to send it to!

What's going on? Do you think I'm doing this myself? I don't have a password protection so it's possible I somehow could be unlocking the screen while it's in my pocket then doing a bunch of random stuff. I don't press the power button while it's in my pocket so the screen would have to come on when a notification comes in and wake the screen up!

Can anyone give me any ideas as to what's going on I can stop feeling like I'm getting insane?

Thanks!

Oh and sorry for any typos, I'm on my phone with a less than stellar keyboard and this site isn't really mobile friendly, which is weird considering that's what it's completely about but whatever haha!
