Uninstall towelroot

[AxlMyk]

I got a notice today from Google to uninstall towelroot, so I did.
Anyone else get the message?

Was there any specifics in the notice?

Said there was malicious code in it. Once you're rooted, you don't need it anymore.

From Google's perspective it is malicious code - it exploits a vulnerability in the OS that allows you to root the device without so much as a wham-bam-thank-you-ma'am. Of course, in case you hadn't heard, Google closed the vulnerability in a kernel update, and hired the guy that wrote Towelroot to boot.

Of course, they don't tell you that.
I was already rooted and don't expect any more updates, so I'm good.
