Installer Hijacking Defender 1.0.2
It scans your device to determine whether you're vulnerable and has a feature that protects you from all sort of malware on the internet and from losing your personal data.
Sleek interface with some useful tools
The app doesn't launch with a tutorial or a presentation of its features, which is quite inconvenient considering that users find tips quite beneficial when launching a new application. It doesn't have a complex interface, it lacks material design or a side menu with quick access to its features.
It simply has an icon on the main menu, tap on it in order to start scanning. It has a section that provides users with all sort of explanations, telling them what malware is lurking on the internet and how the app protects them from it.
Scan your device
The app doesn't take long to perform a full scan on your device and display results. It shows you if the phone is vulnerable to Installer Hijacking attacks.
Android Installer Hijacking is a widespread vulnerability in Google’s Android system that allows an attacker to modify or replace a benign-looking Android app with malware.
It therefore gains full access to the sensitive data, such as your chatting records in Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp, Twitter, Hangouts, Skype, photos and videos in Instagram, Google Photos and Vine, your contacts, texts (SMS/MMS), call logs. Your payment information can be stolen by a phishing payment app that is installed exploiting this vulnerability instead of the one you want.
Protect your phone
The app simply enables a feature that protects your phone from such attacks and vulnerabilities. It will alert you when an Installer Hijacking attack takes place. Some antivirus applications don't have this feature, that's why it's a good idea to install this app.
Phishing apps can be a decoy of any popular app, from shopping apps like Amazon, and Ebay, entertainment app like Netflix, Hulu and Pandora, to SNS like Pinterest, Kik and Snapchat and even hot games like Angry Birds, Subway Surfers and Minecraft.
Installer Hijacking Defender shares the same developer team with '360 Security', that's why it has an icon that allows users to install the antivirus with more features.
