Root

Rooting and a malicious program are two different things. If you want to see if your phone is rooted, go to settings, about phone, status information, phone status. If it says official it means you have the real software. If it says custom, that means you have been rooted. If you're looking for a malicious program, I would suggest installing Malwarebytes to scan your phone. If this helped you, please mark this as a solution.
