I don't run the same ROM long enough to catch this pointless malware. XD

Then again, it's a sign of where mobile devices are headed... In a few short years people will be compromising mobile devices implanted in victim's skulls and throwing pop-up ads into their eyeballs via LCD contact lenses. *shudders*

Would installing cm7 wipe out Carrier IQ?

im pretty sure custom ROMs will be free of this cancer. Head to XDA and root that sh*t like bauss.

Epic, the CarrierIQ software is not "caught", nor does it cause pop-ups, and no it is not missing in many of the roms (pretty much any Cyanogenmod rom will not have it, and most others that are not CM, MIUI, or AOSP based WILL have it.)

Nebun, search the past week or so on Tom's for the 2 or 3 other articles talking about it.

By CM7, do you mean Cinematic Mod 7 for Half-life. Uh, that doesn't run on Android. BTW, the latest version is CM11 RC.

It's not on Verizon's Stock Gingerbread for Droid 2 Global.
