Open Vaccine
Open Vaccine is a free and open source model anti-malware software designed to detect RCS (Remote Control System), Hacking Team’s spyware used by intelligence agencies in many countries including the National Intelligence Service (NIS) of South Korea. Open Vaccine was, in the first phase, developed for Android smartphones. Open Vaccine does not aim to become a commercial program against all types of malware and spyware. Open Vaccine’s primary goal is to detect the RCS, and hereafter, other malware known to be used to spy on the citizen. That is, Open Vaccine is a program exclusively for spyware used in surveillance by national authorities.
Open Net Korea, the Progressive Network Center, the P2P Foundation Committee for Korea launched the People's Vaccine Project to develop the Open Vaccine. These organizations took responsibility for the initial development of Open Vaccine, and for further development, made the source code available to the public, inviting anyone with technical capacity to contribute. We believe this the best way to make the Open Vaccine to cover all of the spyware used by the state for citizen surveillance such as Fin Fisher, not only the Hacking Team's RCS, and other platforms and operating systems apart from Android and Windows. Open vaccine is entirely independent from the national authorities and will prove that the best way to combat spyware used in citizen surveillance is the people’s participation. Open Vaccine is open to anyone anywhere in the world, and the ownership is also open to everyone.
To fund the costs necessary for the development of Open Vaccine, a crowdfunding platform 'Social Punch' was launched by the Progressive Network Center at http://www.socialfunch.org/openvaccine2015. Your contribution can make a difference!

It does what it was created to do nothing more, nothing less. made for anyone. thanks.
Another crappy app you do not need. It did NOTHING to help me. No wonder it is free!
My phone keeps getting these pop ups on my screen even when I'm not on any apps and nothing has detected it : (
Well. It will not run. I get a black screen with your logo. That's all.
Fatal error now after nothing happens once I launch it only a banner top lefthand corner showing Open Vaccine? - - As far as Adware pop up's are concerned the possible culprit is Shell - as soon as the ad pops up tap to hold the multitasking button (middle button) and the window with the app that launches that Adware shock show up - uninstall the app in question.
Not very effective though normal user can have it!!
my phone is hacked...this did not even come close to detecting HER!
Great! Scans RCS File signature, must have in these scary times! Thanks! Added app link to our Op.source sec. Must-haves. Maybe it's a good idea 2 add some simpler description 4 the less (<) advanced users.. ;-)
Crashes on scan , does nothing at all .
When I first downloaded it, it seemed to be a good app but now when I try to run a scan it says searching for ever and seems the needle on the Gage does nothing like a dud app please fix
Simple and highly effective
Been trying to get rid of this ghost adware forever.... nothing will detect it...
