About ESET USSD Control
ESET USSD Control protects your devices from USSD code attacks executed via malicious SMS, QR code, or URL link.
Protect yourself from data loss through remote wipe or other harmful actions of USSD hacks.
In order to protect your device from remote wipe and other USSD attacks, make sure that ESET USSD Control is set as the default dialer:
1. Install ESET USSD Control on your device.
2. Use your Android phone to visit our test page: http://www.eset.com/tools/ussdtest (note that this only contains a checker and will not make changes to your phone).
3. When prompted to complete action, check "Always perform this action" and select ESET USSD Control.
For step by step installation please follow our Knowledge Base http://kb.eset.com/esetkb/index?page=content&id=SOLN3139
Please note that once installed, the app runs invisible in the background, with no icon on the home screen. ESET USSD Control only interacts with the user when an attempt to run a harmful USSD code is detected. To make sure the app is installed correctly, go to Android Settings > Applications and look for ESET USSD Control.
The purpose of USSD codes is that telecom operators can provide distance support for phone devices. An example of such code is one that displays IMEI number (*#06#), but there are also USSD commands that can wipe all data and restore a phone to factory settings.
Protection against USSD (Unstructured Supplementary Service Data) attacks is an essential security layer for Android devices, since these attacks can be easily initiated by all means that lead to visiting a website containing malicious USSD command such as SMS, QR code, or simply by tapping a fraudulent link in the browser.
By checking for malicious codes before they are executed, ESET USSD Control makes sure that all data on your Android phone stay safe. The app displays a warning window each time a malicious USSD code is found, blocking the execution of the potentially harmful command.

If you clicked on the READ MORE link and went to the site they instruct you to its self explanatory. The site checks to see if you need this app installed or not. The app works in the background invisibly. If you can't figure that much out how do you even use a phone?

But wouldn't it also stop legit code from security (anti virus) apps with 'Device Admin" from locking or wiping device on owners command?

Use the stock android browser and the setup will work as described. However, after installing I discovered that ESET Mobile Security & Antivirus already has this functionality built in, so I'm uninstalling this in favour of the full package.

This vulnerability is only valid on phones that run touch wiz ui. All Samsung devices come with touch ui as stock. Your HTC device doesn't. So your not vulnerable to this threat.

I have Chrome and Firefox installed on my Note 2 I was unable to perform the test and select Eset USSD as the default with either of these browsers. It worked perfectly with the Stock Android Browser so for anybody having problems setting this up properly try using the Stock Browser instead and it should work.
