Is it possible for your cell phone to get 'hacked' into?

Today, I slid open my new LG Venus (recently purchased NEW on Monday, Feb. 25) from the Verizon store, before I get the chance to click the Menu (or any other for that matter) key, it's selected (on it's own, like someone's doing it for me) only thing is I'm home alone.

The selections proceed and select Get It Now and then go to the Music option, for purchasing music & ringtones.

I've restarted my phone (turn completely off, wait a bit and then turn it back on) but the same thing happens....over and over, each time I slide it open. I've watched my fingers to make sure that it's not me touching the screen....all is clear. I even make sure they're not pressing the side buttons and they're not.

Has this happened to anyone else? Is it an issue I need to get taken care of. Do I need to exchange my handset?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.
