rooting is what allows you "root" access to the os so you can make high level changes. Amazon is put on by Android so it cant be removed the same as apps put on by your provider.
What phone/android version is it?

What phone/android version is it?
It's a T-Mobile MyTouch 4G (HTC) and it's Android 2.2.1
Rooting is like giving yourself the "Administrator" privileges to your phone. You can do all that you want, down to the root of the phone. So this gives you the full access to your phone. Rooting is made very easy these days. There are plenty of "one click" solutions to it and all you need to do is follow a few steps. At least for Samsung there are plenty of those. I can look around for MyTouch devices. Is it made by HTC or...?
Also, I have a question about an app...I grabbed the free version of the AVG anti-virus for Android. Is it worth having or is it just a waste of phone resources?
from what i read anti virus isn't worth it ,but i may have been misled
I would imagine that if you do something to your phone after rooting, that requires you to take it to the service, it would not be under warranty anymore. I am not sure about the policy though. Porky might know better. Rooting can be undone too, though so you can hide your tracks.
If it is running constantly, then it is waste of resources. If you are not downloading a ton of stuff all the time and installing stuff randomly, then it is waste. In my opinion.
This is what I believe too.

You find the model and os then that will lead you to step by step for rooting. But, I haven't done it so I cant walk you through it.
Why is it that some apps just keep restarting, no matter how many times I kill them? And they are apps that i don't use
Like the amazon one in particular, google gets paid to make sure they are installed and keep running.
When do you see those? Only time I see them is if I play angry birds
