Hi Guys,

New to android, but not new to XDA-Developers.

I'm getting freaked out by the ragagainstthecage exploit/virus stuff I'm seeing on the net.

I've tried rooting my phone a couple of times, but each time, while monitoring the device via adb shell, it starts running 100's of ragagainstthecage instances, which looks a hell of a lot like a virus. :confused:

Unzipping and analysing the apk's, shows that they contain a binary with the above name... ???

Further research on "da Google" makes me think it is an unholy virus looking to steam all my passwords and my virginity.

But reading on here, it seems like it is part of the root exploit that I actually want.

So - if it is, why does it run 100's of times. doesn't seem right to me.

Can someone please explain. I'd really quite like to OC my device, get rid of the Moto blur stuff - but each time I've seen the messages below, naturally, I've pulled the battery, wiped the SD card and done "erase everything" and gone back to stock. :mad:

example below, from ps while adb shell.
