Possible Malware but not sure how to remove if I don't know what app is causing it.

AC Question

Get pops up of a virus randomly then get a GooglePlay pop of a certain "antivirus" app every time. How do I remove the malware if I don't know where it is coming from. I have Avast Mobile Security downloaded already

Welcome to Android Central! Sounds more like adware, rather than a true virus. Adware can be installed alongside various apps. You have to uninstall apps one by one until the behavior disappears. Concentrate on games (especially knockoffs of popular paid games), "RAM booster" apps, gambling apps, or porn, if any of those are present.
