Can this app block "Stage Fright" exploit?
« on: July 28, 2015, 08:57:54 PM »
I was just sent this very new article link:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/stagefright-vulnerability-drm-android-heartbleed,29682.html
It's quite important that either my Mobile Security stop this or I not allow MMS messages to downl;oad until this is patched. My Nexus 5 and OnePlus One's should be patched pretty soon (I would think) but the 4.4 phone I have probably aren't getting a fix soon.

Can AVAST protect us?????

Hi vondalucky1,
we put together some short and exhaustive informations.

In upcoming days we are going to warn all our users through Mobile Security app. We have also solution how to prevent this attack (more info at links above). Now we're trying to find out better solution within the app.
