Android.Toorch in virus library:

Android.Toorch is a family of dangerous Trojans for Android mobile devices. The main purpose of these Trojans is to download, install and remove applications specified by cybercriminals. However, this malware can also steal confidential information and forward it to cybercriminals. Moreover, these Trojans can demonstrate annoying advertisements on the device’s screen.

To be able to perform their main malicious activity, these programs try to get root privileges by using a program package modified by cybercriminals. If they succeed, a number of malicious components are stealthily embedded into the system directory /system/app. An express scan performed by Dr.Web anti-virus solutions for Android doesn’t include this part of the operating system. Therefore, if any Trojan of the Android.Toorch family is discovered, it is very important to run a full scan on the infected mobile device, remove the Trojan’s main file, and finish the curing process using a special utility created by Doctor Web security experts.

As a result, root privileges will be cancelled. If you had had an access to low-level administration functions (root privileges) before your Android device got infected, you may need to reassign these privileges.
