How do I recover from this
If you have been rooted, you need to reinstall. It is the only way to be sure
you got rid of it. If there is stuff you need, I would suggest installing another
disk and install to it. Then you could install the old drive and mount the
partitions with your data on it and retreive it. You can also do some inspection
to try to figure out what happened. Just be careful not to run anything from the
old drive or you might be in trouble again.
If what I just suggested makes no sense to you, you might be better off just
reinstalling and move on with life. The problem is you will never know what you
did wrong and you WILL lose everything on the old installation.
Does this mean there is little that can be done to either stop it from
initially happening or prevent its reoccurence?
If you decide
to reinstall just be sure to format the partitions. Again keep im mind you will
lose EVERYTHING!!
