Oh, so does it work the other way (phone installing on the PC)? Because if I read correctly, Andy mentioned the mobogenie being installed on his PC?
Another question.. If the Mobogenie app was installed on the android tablet/phone, won't it mean that the PC is infected with a malware of some sort for the the installation/command to run?
yes, my best bet would be the pc is infected. some process is running in backgroud and when it detect an android phone is connected it'll issue the adb install command.
try to googling using "mobogenie" and "malware" keyword, got many interesting result, especially this one
http://www.exedb.com/exefiles/mobogenie.exe.htmlmy guts tell me thats the process that trying to install the apk when phone is connected.
anyway, the mobogenie thingy is not an alternative android market per se like what it said on the mobogenie app description on playstore.
from its site,
http://www.mobogenie.comits self proclaim as "an alternative android all in one manager". got pc client, and the mobogenie.exe process is its pc client process. look and sound as legit, but not when its trying to install an app to user's phone without user consent.
