McAfee Dialer Protection
The operating system your smartphone is running may be vulnerable to potential misuse of USSD commands that could wipe your entire phone. Tapping on a link to a cleverly coded web page could order your phone to reset itself to factory settings and disintegrate all your private data with it. Simply opening a malicious website, either directly or by a link, could instigate a dialer exploit that instantly orders your phone to take unwanted actions, potentially including a factory reset (wiping out all your personal settings, data and apps) or destruction of your SIM card.Any Android phone running Phone.apk v 4.1 or lower is at risk and that's the broader base of them. Install McAfee Dialer Protection to protect against such attacks. Now, when you tap on an exploiting link, McAfee will intercept and block the USSD command.

don't know if its really working because the different dialpad colors provided by McAfee are not on the dialpad, and the app is supposedly on. Would give 5 ⭐ otherwise. Thanks. BTW, thank you for responding to my questions and concerns previously.
Fixed a bug making using music with headphones near impossible. Thanks a million!
I'm not sure if this even is necessary for the Galaxy S5, but since the app takes only 500KB of room on the phone, it's totally worth it. It doesn't seem to interfere with anything, so why not.
Glad McAfee has come up with this for free so quickly.
