Q&A
What is SpyLocker (SpyAgent) malware?
SpyLocker (SpyAgent) is a new Android threat that collects data on your device and sends it to a server. It targets customers of large banks in Australia, New Zealand and Turkey. This banking malware steals login credentials from 20 mobile banking apps using fake login screens. This information is sent to a command and control server to be used at a later time for profit.
How does SpyLocker (SpyAgent) malware work?
1. SpyLocker (SpyAgent) generates an overlay to cover the launched banking application login screen, which can’t be skipped unless you enter your mobile banking credentials.
2. If you enter your banking credentials, your information will be recorded and passed to the server of cybercriminals.
3. SpyLocker can even bypass two-step authentication by intercepting all texts (SMS) from the bank and immediately remove them from the client device, so as not to attract any suspicion.
4. If you attempt to delete the fake Flash Player, a false overlay message will claim that the “Administrator will be deactivated”. This false warning blocks access to deactivate the device administrator privilege so you will not be able to complete the uninstall.
Note: In addition to targeting mobile banking apps, SpyLocker also tries to obtain your Google, Skype, eBay, and PayPal account credentials.
Will McAfee SpyLocker Remover fix the SpyLocker vulnerability?
Yes, the McAfee SpyLocker Remover is designed to scan your Android device and remove SpyLocker malware if detected. Here’s how it works:
1. If the fake Flash Player is found, you will be redirected to the Device Administrators privilege where you will see Flash Player listed.
2. McAfee SpyLocker Remover will prevent the malware from blocking access to the Device Administration list.
3. Once you successfully deactivate the malware from the list, you can uninstall the malware via Settings > App/Application Manager > Flash Player > Uninstall.
How do I know whether or not my Android device is infected with SpyLocker malware?
There are few ways to confirm if your Android device is infected with SpyLocker malware:
1. Download McAfee SpyLocker Remover and initiate a device scan. The scan will alert you if your device is infected.
2. Check Device Administrators found under Settings > Security >Device Administrators and look for Flash Player. If you can’t remove it from the administrators list and you are blocked by an overlay screen, your device is infected.
How do I prevent SpyLocker malware from attacking my Android device?
SpyLocker (SpyAgent) malware is only available from untrusted third party sources. Avoid installing apps from any unknown sources, especially those seeking device administration privileges. For real-time safeguard of your device, McAfee Mobile Security provides proactive protection to SpyLocker malware, alerting you if you need to remove the malware.
Do I need to install this app if I am currently a McAfee Mobile Security user?
McAfee Mobile Security provides real-time protection to detect malware and its variants and alerts you if you need to remove the malware. If your device is not affected by SpyLocker malware, McAfee Mobile Security is all you need to keep you free from malware. However, if your device is already infected, you will need to download and install McAfee SpyLocker Remover in order to remove the malware.

It is quick & easy to use. I like that it shows every file it scans just wish there was a log or something as sometimes they pop up so quickly I can't read it. Also, is there anything else besides the 3 this app scans for that I should be watching for if my phones a repeated target? Advice from devs would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for this app!

People people people. Read reviews about best virus and malware protection. Not sure why most use McAfee or Norton. Bitdefender and Kaspersky if you want to pay are the best. Otherwise avast. It has a great free version. Look up (think) humningbad 3 million andriods infected in something like 2 months avast, lookout (who I don't like) or a factory reset were about the only way to get if off if you could even.

I am unable to use my device because of this spyware on here and McAfee claims it is free of any malware and spyware. I am constantly being played by devices being installed without my consent and advertisements that block and cause my device to freeze. Even my airtime has been stolen numerously. AliExpress, BBM, OLX, Gardenscapes, Flash keyboard, FWKPlugin, Uber, FusedLocation, etc. are only a few of the Apps that install on my device without my permission. My images,videos,messages,location also.

I've only had this app for 11 days & so far it seems to be working just fine. It states that my device is free which is great news to me. Hopefully, there will be no changes in its reports. The app also contains two worthy bonus applications: Heartbleed Detector & Fake ID Detector, both of which also seem to be working fine. As with the first app, I remain in the clear & hope to continue to there. Thanks Devs for 3 great programs that are very easy to use.

My phone became slow, inefficient, and I'd felt the overall sense that something was definitely wrong. SIM card error came up...a huge red flag not good. I have McAfee Security on my computer and saw it offered for mobile.I installed same McAfee Security features as my computer (free) and ran the scans. It showed me everything. My phone was "hijacked". It stated to me not only what was wrong, it fixed it, and my phone was restored. My phone runs great and is secure. Wow. I really appreciate it!

Spy Locker Remover always says "1 threat unfixed" for heartbleed that it can't fix. Is SLR needed if one already has your 5-star security package?

But after scan it said there was no threat. Also this app made 3 different shortcuts on my page 2 in home page and 1 in wigget page. ???
