Help Help! M860 has a virus & other Misc ?'s

Hello all, new to AF here with my first post. My phone is a Huawei Ascend M860, stock 2.1 Rom, rooted using Z4 also using the paid version of TB.

Question 1: I did a backup using TB and then copied the SD card to my pc running XP. I ran an AVG virus scan and the results indicated that I had a virus and that it was embedded into the Z4 root application. Here are the details of the virus as per AVG:

Android_dc.DCY
Android_dc.DCV
Android_mc.EQB
Android_dc.BJR
Android_mc.AIZ or ALZ

Here's the paths to the virus locations:
\z4root.1.3.0.apk:\res\raw\superuser.apk:\superuser.apk:\META-INF\MANIFEST.MF
\z4root.1.3.0.apk:\res\raw\superuser.apk:\superuser.apk:\classes.dex
\z4root.1.3.0.apk:\classes.dex
\z4root.1.3.0.apk:\META-INF\MANIFEST\MF

So are these actual threats or normal as part of the exploit to gain root access? :confused: There is very limited information about these threats on the web hence the questions. The phone has been acting goofy and at times restarting itself. A few days ago one of my yahoo accounts went crazy and sent email to everyone in my contacts. They didn't appear to be infected messages.

Question 2: If the above listed files are infections, where can I download a clean version of Z4 root or a similar application to gain root access? The links that I followed from AF all lead to corrupt files, that is if the files listed above are indeed infections.
Question 3: I want to upgrade to CM7 but still a bit confused with which ROM to use. What CWR can be used using the stock 2.1 Rom and if not, then how do you do a complete backup of the phone using the stock ROM? Question 4: What version of CM7 and GAPPS are best and or the most stable for the M860? Can you direct to clean links?

I appreciate your help and apologize if this is in the wrong spot. :)

Hi, welcome to the forums! It is normal for Z4root to show up as a virus, so I wouldn't worry about that. You can flash CWM through ROM Manager, and also Playfulgod's CM7 ROMs. You can also check out his wiki I think it's Playfuldroids wiki or check out his website Unleashed Pre Paids.com.
