McAfee Heartbleed Detector
What is Heartbleed?Heartbleed isn’t a virus, it’s a mistake in OpenSSL — a security standard that encrypts communications between you, the user, and the servers provided by online services and websites. This mistake lets hackers extract user names, passwords and other sensitive information stored in these online service databases.
Will this app fix the Heartbleed bug?No. The Heartbleed bug can only be fixed with a software update from your device manufacturer or app vendor. You can use this app to see if your device or apps need to be updated.
What do I need to do if I’m affected?If your device or an installed app is impacted, you should wait to hear from the manufacturer or app vendor that an update is available. After you update your device software or app, only then should you change any affected passwords.
How do I check my websites?This app can tell you if your device or apps are affected, but it won’t tell you if any of the websites you visit are vulnerable. To do that, you’ll need to use McAfee’s free Heartbleed Checker. Just visit: http://www.mcafee.com/heartbleed

I had no problems with this app. After you agree to the terms then you click scan it works quickly. If no problem is detected then it gives you a very little green check mark above where it says scan. As it clearly says it only lets you know if there is a problem. It does not fix it.
Installed almost all your Applications into my mobile and the results is what so ever I open application it shows messages till application close and after. Continuously covered with different pop-up messages. So,the reason not to see full application nor understand what's going on behind message. Finally I decided to remove all applications from my phone.
Not sure what Heartbleed is exactly, but I trust McAfee and it has a well earned reputation with me. Keep up the great work.
Does nothing. I had bought the total protection sw and it is unable to get on my nework. I've tried my wifi and the internet that i have on my phone. So i thought that going to play would help me download some security apps easier. NO GO
As the title says, it just says scanning. 2 hours later it still says the same but lists no files or percentage scanned.
Very bad app. I waited 15 to 20 min but couldn't still finish scanning.
Doesn't seem to work for new phones with Android marshmallow 6. Those who are saying it is working have older phones and Android.
Tried it many times, even uninstalled and reinstalled, after clicking agree to terms I click scan and it just stays there no results or even scan detection.
The button for the agreement (the check box) is too close to the end, and some screen protectors making it hard/impossible to click. Not scanning.
Great tool to check your mobile os vulnerability to heartbleed bug and keeps you up to date about open ssl vulnerabilities.
This and the ID detect does not scan installed and reinstalled. Doesn't do anything. On two different moto g.
Downloaded and ran it after checking the t and c box countless times but just hangs and doesn't do the scan
I doesnt work no movement in progress bar nor does it state what files or apps are being scanned expecting to much from MCAFEE as there apps are everywhere in the app store ....meaning money money money sad really as they used to be right up there with the best ....
App is not working on my Vibe X3.Shows scanning and wait for long time but not scanning.
Um... I'm sure plenty of people have let ya know that "Steel" is a metal alloy AND if u ”Steal" that's taking something that ain't yours. I'm still downloading it but anything I've used that carrys the McAfee name I've been happy with it.
This app is amazing how it can scan your device and figure out what was wrong.
I was one of the many people who tryed clicking the scan button and it won't scan. What you have to do is cheack mark a little box on the left, the scan button will turn blue and you can now scan your device.
I am using Mcafee Mobile securityy and Diallar app....any known conflicts?Come on, Mcafee, we expect better than this ...please respond quickly!
Never scans idles I have samsung 7 edge please fix problem works in samsung 4 but clicking agree box then click on scan does nothing never designed for latest phone anyone who says works no problem has older phones needs update to run on latest phones
This doesn't work on my Samsung A5 2016 please fix it!
Installed this app... Upon install try to scan my phone..... But, nothing happened.... I read some users review having same problem, one reviewer said that I have to check mark the "I agree" button below "Scan Now", B U T, there is nothing there to check!, am I missing something here?, I have Hartbleed detector version 1.0.0.3135.
I downloaded this tool but it doesn't start scanning still there on the main screen i accepted with the condition but it is still there....I'm using samsung galaxy s6 android marhshmallow 6.0 kindly help me!
Don't get it, you do the scan and tells you there is a problem and need to update but you can't. Going to uninstall, McAfee is usually very good but totally disappointed with this app
How to fix after vulnerability is detected and any update is unavailable.
Boy, that is really a threat; leaving us wide open. Everyone should have this app. Thank You! McAfee!!
How exactly do I get rid of this heartbleed bug. I don't get this
Just click the I agree box above the scan, and scan works...also, to those that say it gives no way to update or fix the problem. This app does what it says. Mcafee doesnt make the other apps on your phone or the android os. So it tells you if your using an outdated phone, or using an app at risk. Up to you to do the rest.
