Root has absolutely nothing to do with it. In fact, Root will give the capability to remove said piracy. See.. Google Chrome is one of the most hacked apps out there, regardless of Root. To give an example, I've visited what seem like normal sites and next I knew, there were craploads of downloads without my permission. Facebook and their news articles is one of the sites, visit an article and every tab open switched to a spam DL. Then. The device kept transmitting data at strange times & freezing up so I went snooping via Root and found an unknown file called channels.db. in the root of Storage that I never put there or was included in my ROM. I erased said file and phone started behaving more strangely but no longer freezing up or transmitting data at weird intervals. Today I got tired of it and completely wiped EVERYTHING except my ext. sdcard and reinstalled my ROM from scratch. Problem solved, now my question is.. How did it even get there? Without Root, that file would have stayed.. Think about that.
