You would never know if your phone got infected... Just I would be careful with it if your still gonna to continue to use it. Another thing is that this is taking dues away from devs that worked hard to make these apps. And when something like that starts to provide them for free it makes the devs lose money...

Well considering there aren't any virus software for android that can detect malware when its already installed there really isn't a way to know... What I would do is just do a factory reset and reinstall all your legit apps from the market to make sure if there was any malware it gets wiped... That's the only thing you really can do.

Edit: also you can use sms backup and restore to back up texts, there's probably a call log backup program, also if you have data on a game or something that's legit and you don't want to lose back them up with titanium backup or make a nandroid backup and use appextractor to restore your data...

The biggest problem is that it is stealing. Flat out stealing. There is no grey area here. Unless you get apps from somewhere that is approved by the developer of that app, it is stealing and it is wrong. Beyond that, you can do some major harm to your phone. Like it has been stated before, pirated apps are known to contain malware which can harm your phone, and possibly do worse than that (bank acct info, credit card info, and other things). These apps don't cost that much, if you really want them you can buy them legit.

I am glad you are here asking questions, but from the stuff you asked I can tell you wouldn't be able to tell if you did get something bad there. It may be something as harmless as causing issues with your phone, but you may end up way worse. So avoid it, please.

Delete it and all the apps from it. You may have something harmful or you might not, I can't tell. Better to get rid of all that and hope for the best.
You could do a factory reset (through CWM if you have that recovery) and start fresh.
I personally wouldn't let a single thing from there on my phone.

The best thing to do is to do a factory reset and just re-install your legit market apps... If you have a virus which there is no guarantee you do or don't, but it will stay there even if you take away the problem app most likely, unless you got to the source of it and deleted. To be on the safe side though I would do a factory reset...

Edit: NOOOOOOOOOOO Ninjaed by agentc13... AGAIN!!!! like always :/

You can either use titanium backup or make a nadroid and use appextractor and restore your data... If you reset it will keep your root access. To do a nandroid reboot into recovery and scroll down and select backup/ restore and select backup.

i cant find a program that can delete the alog files because i deleted the root explorer because of the market i deleted but i dont want to pay for it ...

is there any app that lets u see the data of the alogs?
 
luis9000, may I ask if you are trying to post the same stuff twice or is there some sort of error from your phone/computer?

Also, ES FIle Explorer is what I use to browse files on my phone. If you grant it root access, it will do that stuff.

I'm wondering that too...

Quoting someone doesn't do anything different than not quoting them if that's what you think... so you don't have to quote someone...
