I would say this is not the correct place to talk about toolkits to spy over someone device I think this thread is going to be closed.
I don't think the OP is inquiring about how to use toolkits for spying, but rather if they have the ability and if they should worry about it
Personally, as Woohoo guy suggested Chainfire and another that comes to mind, the Casual rootkit (AdamOutler), I wouldn't worry about. They are both respected devs

if i have a antivirus would it detect a threat
It might, but it's more likely to throw up a 'false positive'. This is because many Android root methods utilise exploits in the Linux kernel which have been fingerprinted as suspect by AV companies.
The safest method of ensuring that a root process is safe and secure is by looking at what other users say about it; anything remotely suspicious will quickly be discovered and publicised.
