I received a ficticious phishing email puportedly from PayPal advising of a payment of $135.50 to someone I had never hear of and offering access to my account which obviously was a phishing sceme. While I did not follow the link to the phishing website, I did click on a couple of other links (Transaction ID, etc.) and when disccusing the matter with PayPal, it was suggested I may have infected my iPhone with malware. How do I scan my iPhone for malware?
I'm yet to have this phone delivered but I'm looking forward to it. I was thrille dto hear that Nokia do updates which can also enhance this phone's cameras which is really cool. My question is if Nokia could make an update that gives the phone Face Detection, Smile Detection, and all those other modern camera features? It seems unlikely to me but I was just wondering if they could do this, and if they, can they do it soon.
i clicked on a facebook link while using my iPhone 4S and now find out it was bogus and will send spam mail and instal malware. how can I tell if the iPhone has been infected.
Info: iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1, clicked on a facebook link
My phone was given to me by someone else but I did a complete reset and deleted their data and started using the phone.Everything was fine until I went on to a few questionable websites. Having clicked a few links, I found that new tabs were spontaneously opening in the safari browser and the app store kept kicking me out of my web session and inviting me to install some app.Â
As far as I am knowledgable, the phone is not jailbroken (if it was this would have been rectified when I did the reset, correct?).And as far as I know, the phone is very much safe, as long as it is not jailbroken, from malware etc. I did yet another reset, several intact, and I had a similar issue. This time though when I did the latest reset I did not include my iCloud and apple id credentials during the set up for fear of getting hacked. Â
The problem now is I have the issue on the phone, there is a lot of data, numbers and pictures I would like to transfer to my computer but I am 1) fearful of connecting it and 2) afraid to type in an email and password to send my data to myself, or even sync everything with iCloud.Â
The phone is also terribly slow, I don't know if this is a malware problem or if it is, as I read others have said the same online, the phone being too underpowered to support iOS 7.Â
I have upgrade IOS to 5.1 and face detection on the camera application does not seem to work. It doesn't seem to work on my iPad2 either. has anyone gotten this function/feature to work on either the iPhone 4 or iPad2?
Simple: If Google Maps is using my motion activity to send me messages using their app, then why doesn't the app appear in Privacy/Motion Activity?Â
Last week I was using Google Maps on my iPhone 5S for voice navigation through Seattle during rush hour. I took a turn too sharply and my phone rolled off it's spot on my dash and it fell to the floor mat in my car. When safe, I picked it up and there was an alert-style message that said something along the lines of "We notice that you shook your phone while using Google Maps. Let us know if you are having difficulty using this app."Â
I subsequently checked Privacy/Motion Activity and Google was not listed as requesting information about my phone's motion.
Although Google has removed the respective apps (over 50 of them) which were infected with malware called DroidDream which is a Trojan, users may have compromised their phones already since an estimated 200,000 downloads took place before the malware was discovered.
I've recently have some virus/malware in chrome, it always redirects me to some site called cellphone-tips.com and I can't get rid off it. I have added a screen shot, any best way to get rid of this?
For the past week my lumia 1020 has acted VERY odd: battery drain (have to charge it twice a day) it heats up when I'm not using it, Apps open by themselves, tiles on my home screen keep moving around. Every time I open my phone, which is often, a random app has been activated: anything from my calendar to facebook to satnav.
I have a stock non rooted or modded Atrix running up todate firmware. Recently I tried using Astro to try and find a file I had on my phone only to find my phone got stuck in some never ending loop on a folder called thumb2 in the osh directory. After it got to about 2 gigs in size I figured it wasn't going to stop and cancelled the search. I looked in the folder my self only to find it kept looping back onto its self. What is this folder? Did I get some sort of virus or malware on my phone? Would it ruin anything if I deleted the folder seeing how its just keeps looping on it self?
when I open my browser (explorer) on my smsung Galaxy S5; I receive an advertisement that I won lucky tickets. I can only accept this as there is no other way to keep navigation. but this is reccurrently coming back.
I have a 5230 (v10.0.071) and I'm trying to connect it to my PC.I've used the most recent versions of software updater, PC Suite and the Ovi software from this site but my phone remains "undetected". Windows 7 detects the device but fails to install it, which isn't something that surprises me.
A couple of days ago I had to a hard reset (all 3 stages) and since then the PC won't recognise my 5800 as a phone (in media transfer mode)..........BUT it now recognises the memory card as a proper computer drive (drive D, a second HDD which is now corrupted) if put into 'mass storage' mode!! It now appears on the Windows device driver as a 'portable device' and not under 'USB connections' as before.I've done a System restore on the PC to back before the phone reset with no success.And the phone behaves perfectly in all respects.The problem with the 5800 not being detected as a phone is that the C drive does not appear and so is not accessible.
When my screen is off moving a hand over does not wake up the phone right away. It takes multiple tries before phone wakes up. Not a big of a deal just want to know what other say.
I got Bitpim to recognize the serial and modem ports for Samsung as available but,when I try to goto file system with the serial port, it shows the folder icon as open but it doesn't do anything. I tried to use "Other CDMA Phone" for detection. If I try the Modem port, it says "Retrieving." like it's attempting to open it but, soon, it stops and is in the same spot as the serial port.
want to make sure my employer hasn't installed any spyware software on my device. From my reading, you can look for signs such as spikes in data transfers when you're not using the phone, that sorta thing. I'd like to be absolutely positive there is no spyware installed, and so what I'm thinking is that in a week or two, I'd like to do a re-installation of the blackberry OS system software. I'm on a mac, and my understanding is that I can take the phone in to an AT&T store and they could do the reinstallation for me. If I were to do that, would I also have to reinstall all of the apps I've downloaded? And short of this method, is there any proven spyware detection software I could use to avoid having to take these steps?
Just factory reset my phone to fix an issue with encryption and for some reason I have no option for OK Google detection from any screen. Option just isn't there. I've disabled a voice but no luck.
Every now and then the pop up menu to select a network connection (ie. search wlan...) keeps appearing on my home screen. Is there a way to disable this? It is getting quite annoying. I have set the 'Show WLAN availabiliy' to Never in the WLAN settings but it still appears every now and then, probably when a network is nearby Im guessing.
Is it possible that the safety camera detection isn't included in maps 3.03.I have a Nokia 5230 and the free navigation ( no licence needed) and maps 3.03 installed.I have downloaded the maps and navigate always off-line.When a navigate I get the announcements that i drive to fast but i don't have the safetycamera (speedcontrol) detection. Normaly they are downloaded at the same time as the map.Last remark : i live in Belgium, so is it pôssible that the camerafunction doens't work here.Is there a solution to install it on my mobile.
The voice detection was turned off. I enabled it, said OK Google three times, and it's working. But the search bar on top of every home screen (Nexus 5) no longer has "Say OK Google" in it. I don't mind, but is this an official change?
I turned it on, but now since I upgraded to the current version OS, I cant find it under settings ---> display. I am having a problem with my screen shutting off randomly, and I think this is the culprit, I just can't figure out how to turn it back off.
