Hi yall, first post here and banging my head against the table!
I use tweetcaster as my twitter app and the makers tweeted about a new TV app that was available called videocaster. I got all excited and decided to download it. TV at work, weeeeeee! The only problem is, it is not available in the market, but on some website called webjar. In my haste, I downloaded it and then gave the phone permission to install 'off market' apps (or whatever they call it). After doing so, I started to get a sinking feeling. What if I just gave some hacker all my info? I panicked, uninstalled it and did a factory reset. Do you think this is enough to get it off my phone or can an off market app alter the os in a way that a reset won't erase the change? Help put my mind at ease or tell me how to go about fixing it. Help! Please
