About Fake ID Detector
Fake ID is an Android vulnerability that allows applications to impersonate other applications by copying their identity that can then be used for malicious purposes.
Allows for malicious apps to impersonate other applications by copying their identity – their digital certificate(s) used to cryptographically sign the application package (APK file) – and combining it with their own signature making a chain whereby the parent signature (also known as the “issuer”) can be used to verify the child signatures.
The Fake ID vulnerability, is present in most Android versions 2.1 and above. Depending on the hardware manufacturer and the version of Android running on your device you may be vulnerable to one or more of more privileged attack vectors as described by BlueBox who discovered the vulnerability and of course, given this problem relates to chains of certificates, a hacker could chose to include many certificates to cover all of these options, and more, in their specifically crafted malware.
McAfee Fake ID Detector enables you to quickly discover if your applications contain the exploit.

Yes it does work. However in defence of those who couldn't get it to scan because they didn't check the terms and conditions box, said box is virtually impossible to see.

The button for the agreement (the check box) is too close to the end, and some screen protectors making it hard/impossible to click. It should be able to run in background, or save history.

I have the same issue with failure to run, in my case the button doesn't respond. Even trying to read the EULA caused a screwup! Time to pass the drunken Irishman bye and keep looking for a backup to the one that worked .... so far.

Great checks all downloaded apps for authenticity. Thanks to those who correctly advised to check the allow permission box on the left of terms and conditions. Enjoying the added safety this app provides now..

When it first open you get the McAfee symbol then blank screen and the security agreement sentence at the bottom . At first did not see the check box in front of the sentence so was not able to run it until I saw a very faint impression in front of the security sentence which is very hard to see for its the same color as background so once checked it worked just fine.

It should add things like scanning for fraudulent items or targeted scams. And for those of you that say it doesn't work... Check the terms/conditions box. You need to do that to start the scan....

It works but not the original issue is pointed sometimes it points on modding apps and some things which cause no harm to device. Well i understand it happens because of the supported file formats which r to be suspected but anyways the technology will improve one day in carching the fake apps perfectly...
