Android Chomp SMS reinstalling itself?

[TheBlank]

So I've been using Chomp SMS instead of the default text manager on my Droid Bionic. However, lately I've been getting tons of repeat texts, missing texts, and just plain poor performance with it.

I had held off on updating because the makers of Chomp had changed their permissions to include access to all accounts, and there was some question about it containing a virus. Supposedly the issue concerning being flagged as a virus had been dealt with, so I finally bit the bullet and updated hoping the problems would resolve. However, said problems only got worse. Yesterday evening I decided to uninstall and try Go SMS Pro. I wanted to determine whether the receipt issues I was having were due to Chomp or due to Verizon not playing well with AT&T, as most of the issues I had were between my phone and one on AT&T.

After about 30 minutes, while testing out the features of Go SMS, I noticed a download notification. When I pulled the menu down, it read "Downloading Chomp SMS" and eventually "Installing Chomp SMS"...

Chomp re-downloaded itself, and reinstalled itself. I have rebooted my phone twice now, and Chomp has reinstalled itself a total of 3 times despite this. I have never set auto-updates, nor can I find anything that would explain this naturally.

Thankfully, it has been a few hours since Chomp has reappeared, but this has me decidedly concerned that the warnings about Chomp containing a virus were indeed true. This definitely seems like trojan/virus behavior.

Am I wrong to be concerned about this? Is there another explanation? I'm about ready to just wipe my phone to be sure that I don't have anything traipsing around stealing my info. Also, are the repeat and dropped texts I'm finding between Verizon and AT&T a common occurrence? I remember running into similar issues between Verizon and T-mobile. Sometimes my texts wouldn't be received until 3 - 4 weeks after I had sent them. I've already had a repeat text or two with Go SMS Pro, and I have the default text manager disabled.

Thanks in advance.

I have zero experience w chomp ... but you may want to look if when initially it got installed it left some auto update service behind ... not even sure its possible but worth a look...
settings > applications > running service > [menu] show cached processes

As far as multiplying SMSs that's common w ATT. When my GF was on ATT i'd see that happen a bit ... I'm on sprint but also have a friend on verizon whom had same issue when texting ATT people, never between Sprint n Verizon.
