With reports of certain Chinese phones coming with infected ROMS it would be a good idea to detect if your phone has been compromised with uupay.A here is how.
Thankfully there is a simple way to see if your phone or tablet is infect with uupay.A and that is to simply install ESET Mobile Security and Antivirus from the Google Play store to your phone. Once installed you can run the apps virus and security checker to see if you have anything to worry about.
What if my phone is infected?
After testing your device and learning that you have been infected then we hope you can do the following:
Gizchina News of the week
- Indicate the device you have and the version of the ROM you are using (found in settings > about phone) and post the details in the comments below.
- Let us know which malware was detected.
- Let us know if this is an official or unofficial ROM
How to remove the malware?
Removing the malware or trojan should be as simple as installing a new ROM. Hopefully the official manufacturers ROM will be the best bet if not try one of the 3rd party ROMs designed for your device.
Also, please note that most Antivirus or security apps see that ROOT is a threat. Do not worry if this is the only problem your phone has as ROOT is normal and nothing to worry about.
If you have any other concerns about your phone, the ROM you are using or have some security tips and tricks please feel free to share them in the comments below.
Scanned my Vivo Xplay 3S ROM is fine but ESET did not like Baidu music, Tudou or Youku apps
Andi I think you should let any post with link to your own site, gizchina, to be automatically approved. Some kind of whitelist maybe.
That does not mean it is a real threat and not another Hoax against Chinese mobiles. There is so much money in the European market, especially the German one. Since the EU has decided to fuck that empire those crap companies called providers used to have, things have become rough. Hard to please your shareholders when you can’t rip off your clients as well any more.
Suddenly it’s not the NSA but the Chinese mobiles who are causing all this spying. 😉 And especially the copies…. And there especially the dual sim ones…. and those who won’t colaborate with the big companies so they get thier share… oooops…
Really dude wake up. If you think it’s coincidental then you are just as blind as darkness is.
Easy Logic. EU clamping down on phone providers, china phones becoming more popular = bad times for providers. Then suddenly…. A flash of light….. a German security firm finds a trojan virus (bad quality of china phones didn’t seem to scare people enough, so now we need a virus….)….
LOL guys don’t run after this ghost like lemmings.
I entertain this conspiracy theory more than the simple notion that a shady phone maker include shady apps on their phone.
