I keep hearing about people "rooting" their phones. I also downloaded an App so I can screen shot from my (Captivate) phone, but it also tells me that I have to root my phone.
I downloaded AVG on my phone tonight and ran the scan, and the App "Superuser Permission" came up as a threat, and then I couldn't delete it. So I ran to Google on how to delete it, and stumbled across this forum. Apparently that App has something to do with rooting your phone (?), so here I am.
What in the world is this Superuser Permission thing, and how do I root my phone?
More importantly -- What is the point of rooting my phone? What does it do? What are the advantages? Will it wipe my phone out when I do it?
TIA!
