Maybe it's time to update this app's title which includes an adjective or other term indicating it's not been updated in about 7 years and may serve no purpose other than SEO and testing (or antiquated systems). Just a suggestion.

I paid for one year mobile protection plan, however they didn't send me any licence key, so I still have to use the free (trial) version. But they charged for it.

Awesome protection that truly only experts in the field would develop and put it out for free, open source. 5 Stars. Highly recommend!

If you don't understand technically oriented apps then just install NOD32 for android. Theres even a free one! Its hands down the best AV in the world. All tech heads use it. I even have it on many Linux boxes to protect my windows using friends/windows partition and Linux itself too! Yes, despite the hype, Linux is not infallible.

I have Chrome and Firefox installed on my Note 2 I was unable to perform the test and select Eset USSD as the default with either of these browsers. It worked perfectly with the Stock Android Browser so for anybody having problems setting this up properly try using the Stock Browser instead and it should work.

Ror. A. Mar 27, 2015     

Use the stock android browser and the setup will work as described. However, after installing I discovered that ESET Mobile Security & Antivirus already has this functionality built in, so I'm uninstalling this in favour of the full package.

It use to work but I recently reset my phone and reinstalled it. Now when I clicked the link nothing happens.

This vulnerability is only valid on phones that run touch wiz ui. All Samsung devices come with touch ui as stock. Your HTC device doesn't. So your not vulnerable to this threat.

Nice concept. Wish it can stop harmful scripts and popup links over browsing.

Pj. J. Oct 2, 2014     

Those who pass judgment would allow me. What everyone else has. Permission. Screw you beggars in all ur endeavours,in life.

The. K. Feb 23, 2017     

Does not Work! Just installed it on my ZTE A506 Android 6.0 When i make the test that you provide, my device is still vulnerable!

TJ. Sep 2, 2014     

Downloaded it several times and I don't get anything.

A. G. u. Oct 12, 2013     

Better safe than sorry Eset has solid solutions

It repressed ussd codes for as long ads it was installed!

Awesome app. This feature is used at the New Zealand Government Communications Security Bureau.

Cha. H. A. Mar 16, 2015     

Do not download as it is the waste of time and data downloading it

Sik. N. Aug 15, 2014

A. G. u. Oct 16, 2012     

Does the job well - small and unobtrusive with useful test to make sure it's working. 5 stars!
