so i was out shopping for glasses and sending pics of myself with different glasses to my wife via bbm when i kept getting a pop up on my phone which i've never seen before. It was a dialogue box saying something along the lines of 'are you sure you want to proceed, proceeding may affect the security of your email', and it gave, i believe, 3 options including continue or cancel. I hit cancel several times without really thinking about it, my assumption at the time being that it must have been a local wifi network trying to connect to my phone (even though, in retrospect, never has such a thing happened when i've been around a wifi network). The 4th or 5th time, irritated by this thing that kept popping up while i was trying on glasses, i (stupidly) hit 'continue', and it went away.
That was around 2 pm. i returned home around 3 ish, and shortly before 4 noticed that my battery was getting really low (much lower than i expected), so i plugged it in to charge. Then around 4:30 we went out to a family gathering and shortly after arriving, i noticed my phone was really warm and that i had a `below 10%` battery warning, which again was a surprise because it had been probably around 40-50% before we left. I put it into airplane mode for the next 3 hrs or so until i returned home, when i plugged it in again, then went out to play hockey taking my wife`s phone since mine was nearly dead. Home 2.5 hrs later and phone is very warm & only about 70% charged, which was shocking to me because it generally charges quicker than that.
At that point i checked the running processes to see what was draining the power and i saw something i didn`t recognize called something like `OV ... DM` (i don`t recall anything other than those letters). I stopped that process, although it came back (on its own) 2 minutes later when i stopped it again. i also noted that my cpu usage for the System app had gone from quite low before about 2pm to 50% or higher for 2.5-3 hrs between 2ish and 5ish, before plunging down to nearly zero for several hours (while i had the phone in airplane mode) and then jumping back up to +-50% for the full 2.5 hrs that i was at hockey and it was plugged in charging. Since stopping the `OV ... DM` process, the phone quickly completed its charge and became much cooler (ie., normal).
anyone shed some light on this...might i have given myself a virus....
