Hidden Device Admin Detector

Very happy to have this app on my phone, a necessary addition to my security arsenal. Many reviews state that they are unhappy that they have spyware on their phone, which this app doesn't detect. But this is not intended to detect spyware, malware, or any other kind of remote hacking, it's solely for the purpose of detecting a hidden device admin. For all other exploits, you need a decent mobile security app. This app states that it gives you the opportunity to deactivate a hidden device admin if found. For its purpose, I am pleased with the peace of mind it gives!

I scanned after downloading another app had caused me to constantly have ads pop up and said my device was fine... I searched Google to find out how to remove the ads and it walked me through the process of finding the device administrators and sure enough, I found the app that had made itself administrator and was spamming my phone. This app is useless.

The scan found nothing, which is good if the app works. Unless the app doesn't work and there is a problem but it can't find it. So the only way to be sure, is to intentionally infect my phone and see if the app will find it. OK, maybe not.

Been using Trend Micro off and on since 2007. They got rid of one of my first viruses from a xmas screensaver when other antivirus scanners failed. Glad they have these little apps to scan with. I like that they're small and basic as far as apps go... Anyway, 5 stars for trend micro, and yes folks it looks like it glitches when it scans but it is not, it just very quickly scans the areas it needs to. You didn't download anything bad, Trend Micro has been around forever so don't worry. Thanks.

Doesnt work, and I cannot uninstall it in favor of a more effective app with the same capabilities. I wish there were an easy. Effective solution. I think my ex installed this, he's such a troll.

Doesn't work. I know that there is a hidden device admin in my phone that I want to remove but this app did not find it. Useless.

A+ The users below clearly don't know how to read! Ths app is for one purpose, not a complete anti-virus! FFS ppl!..

the scanning tool has been eaten by malware nowhere to be seen. Keep up that good work

So far so Gd, just don't tell the world or everyone will have it. Rt now tho, on the hush... It's a fav, so get it, respect it , and keep this app in your business, to keep every device that shouldn't be,out..

This device does NOT work. Get to work boys there is a hidden malware out there look for angola country code and kick its ass!!!

This app is so popular because it quickly offers the user a FALSE sense of security. Face it, no one wants to be Hacked! We'd all like to feel safe and as if our privacy were protected. But this takes 2 minutes to scan my entire phone, does not scan my Sim card at all unless I specify that in the preferences, and missed the malware on my phone altogether. No thanks.

I did a scan, nothing found, great! I just wish it let you remove non hidden device admin, as this is what my problem is, I cannot remove any and I'm stuck with an app I don't want any more and I'm not the only one. It'd be very useful for many. Seems like the only option is to return to factory settings. I hope the developer looks at this and extends the functionality of the app. Thanks.

I know for a fact that there is a hacker controlling my device through a virtual drive. I can see the device using other apps such as Dalvik. This app fails to even detect it. I would never download this or even God forbid, pay for it. Download Dalvik, at least you will be able to see your attacker. This app is garbage. This app cannor even detect that there is vmware installed on my phone through a malicious hacker.

This is not an antivirus, antimalware, or spyware finder. This just finds hidden admins and kills them. Get avast if you freak out so much

This is just ridiculous you created like 30 different anti-virus apps separately insteads of bundling them all into one app. And now my apps folder is cluttered with your icons unnecessarily using memory and space. It's an app for god sakes, not a collectible item of figurines where we need to collect the whole set.

I have a cheap phone and rich neighbors. They think they are above the law and can break my amendment rights here in Stanfield, .NC

I'm on my note 5 and it can't find the device administrator, bandwidth meter, even tho the security app does find it as a threat *I will happily give you guys a 5 star if I can get some help

Thank you! This app is a great addition to the other security tools running on my phone. Permission less ,easy to use/scan, no gimmicks or ads . just another great tool by a great firm. Trendmicro you rule!

It scanned and claims there is no hidden admin where there clearly is. I just want to get rid of it.

Will uninstall it but can reinstall if feel anything wrong. Test was fast. Quickly said that I have none.

Does an excellent job. Cleaned my note 4 of unneeded apps.

Supposed to detect hidden admin. HAS NOT SHOWN ME ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH I ABSOLUTELY HAVE HIDDEN ADMINS !!

Finally an android app that doesn't need any special permission !!! Why can't the rest of em do the same?

Good freeware. Trend micro is affiliated with several of the worlds best security software on the market, according to statistical fact.

Have not found any unauthorized app permission but I don't know if it's because it doesn't work. I'm keeping it!

But ,do any of us know if all admin privileges are shown even with such a tool as this ....good start ,keep up the hard work Dev's ....there is still hope for a world where privacy still exists.......

People, this is NOT an antivirus app. Just checks for hidden administrators, if you don't what that is don't install Or give it bad ratings.

We'll see how well it works right now I give it for stars

Seriously!? Uninstalling as of right now. This app MUST HAVE an update ASAP. Thank you.

Hard to quantify if it is working but I trust Trend Micro.

This does not mean no spyware or vulnerabilities built into Android itself. The market will have an antivirus check for new apps anyway.

Great app to find out if you Phone or Tablet have hidden admin permission or an installed app that you didn't know about ie hidden app, that gave themselves admin options you didn't know about. Everyone needs to download it and the App developer should have put a donation link for this App as it should NOT have been free, but thanks anyway

Shows in detail of every app on your smartphone of there abilities to become spy/malicious apps. Only if they were to become that way,you would know it!

Did what it promised. Doesn't seem to be intrusive. Will get a 5★ when i can check put their AVM without store interference. I am on a VPN net.NFG

Always a fan of Trend Micro software. This scanner is small, fast and doesn't require invasive extra privileges.

It can not detect the hidden app on my Samsung Galaxy Light. What a waste of space. Uninstalling.

I know for a fact there is 8 sick and twisted relay points for sick child porn pervs using my android phone to share their evil craft! This fake app didn't find one! Anyone know how to get them out of a none rooted phone? Dont wast your time on this app!

Doesn't have permissions because it just scans for devices admins it doesn't provide virus protection lol great company and app for it's feature I must say. 4 1/2 stars

please fix it... it dosent detect it but all it says is none detected so I cant get rid of it...... my virus app is FILE MANAGER 1.1 and I cant get rid of it!!!!!!!!!!
