Help Hacking concerns...

Hi, this is my first post in this forum so be gentle if I'm being an idiot.

First off I know nothing about scripting or coding and I a
have a few concerns about certain files on my phone.
Using ES File Explorer I can get as deep as a folder which is simply /. In this folder is on called system, and within that one called app. Here I have a list of all the apps on my phone, most of which have a corresponding .odex file.
I don't know if these are necessary and when I open them most of it appears jargon to me, but further down it is written in English.
I have attached a .txt file in this post for the.odex which relates to my PhoneSetupWizard.

I would be very grateful if someone with a knowledge of coding/scripting etc to have a brief look at it to see if it appears normal.

Thanks for your time

It's a normal file that should be left alone. Don't buy into the media hype about how Android phones are easily hacked. If you're a novice user, only get apps from the Android Market or Amazon Appstore and you should be fine. For extra protection, get an anti-virus app like Lookout or Kaspersky.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

Also, I have Elixer installed and in the software description part is says the bootloader is unknown......?

I'm sure there's something up with it, two seperate phone shops told me something was up and yes I probably should of got them to sort it but I want to learn this stuff myself if ya get what I mean.
