About this app

Quick check for known malware that were downloadable from Store, such as RottenSys, Trojan.AsiaHitGroup, Trojan.SMS.AsiaHitGroup, Adware.AsiaHitGroup, APT-C-23 , Cosiloon malware files in your Android™ Phones, Tablet, TV.

This app will do a quick scan of your device for any Android™ malware appearing since late 2017. Some downloadable apps from Store could be malicious even when they started off as benign. We developed this app because we need a quick security scan for phones, tablets and especially Android™ TV boxes that we owned. It will also inform you if there are applications in your devices (especially TV Boxes) that are not from official Play Store.

One of us has a full time job monitoring Android™ malware in the ecosystem and thus we will be able to maintain this app constantly. Our goal is to push our new versions within 24 hour when there is known malware reported.

Ratings and reviews

Says that TouchPal keyboard app is potentially bad, but doesn't offer to remove it. I don't even have it installed, nor does it appear in my apps or drawer. Doesn't offer any settings at all. Only runs and informs, FYI. Edit: TouchPal was on another phone with the same email address. Maybe this is a Google Play issue?

Informative and interesting app. Note to developers: for my phone (Samsung Note 9) it shows all the apps I've downloaded from the "Samsung app store" as potentially sideloaded apps. In future updates is it possible to detect that apps have been downloaded from Samsung & were not sideloaded? No big deal but I figured I'd ask anyway. 😊

This app delivers! Simple, fast and effective. It certainly won't remove malware from your device, but it'll help you detect the culprit even where popular anti-malware apps fail to. And these guys are also willing to give you some extra advice.
