ESET Mobile Security Antivirus 5.3.24.0 APK [Premium] [Full]
Joao Charlesbois
Today suddenly I got notification from Huawei Optimizer build-in antivirus that my ESET as is a threat (APK:RepMalware[Tri]//arep). I've had it installed for years and something like this has never happened before. What's more stressful is that a couple of days ago I accidentally clicked in a suspicious link, but I scanned with ESET a couple of times during those days and everything seemed fine. Is it just an error or something to seriously worry about?

Anti-theft and SIM Protection
ESET's anti-theft tools are very, very different from those of other Android security suites. Just about everyone else, including Google's Android Device Manager, provides a Web portal to enable anti-theft features remotely. ESET, on the other hand, takes an entirely mobile view. Instead of a website, you send special SMS commands to remotely control your device. While other security apps include SMS controls as an extra, it's the only option in ESET.
While I really like SMS commands in general, and I appreciate trying to design specifically for mobile, I'm uncomfortable with ESET's SMS-only system. While it improves on other SMS control schemes, I think it's neither better nor safer to find a friend to remote control your phone as opposed to using a web portal. If you've just been robbed of your phone, how will you call a friend to ask them to send the messages to your device? What if your friends aren't around? I much prefer having SMS as a component, not the core, of an anti-theft scheme. This keep control of my phone where it belongs: in my hands.
In July 2020 we evaluated 17 mobile security products for Android using their default settings. When conducting our tests, we always used the most current version of all products. The products were allowed to update themselves at any time and query their in-the-cloud services. We focused on malware detection and usability, including performance and false positives. The products had to demonstrate their capabilities using all components and protection layers.
ESET NOD32 Antivirus, commonly known as NOD32, is an antivirus software package made by the Slovak company ESET. ESET NOD32 Antivirus is sold in two editions, Home Edition and Business Edition. The Business Edition packages add ESET Remote Administrator allowing for server deployment and management, mirroring of threat signature database updates and the ability to install on Microsoft Windows Server operating systems.
In comparative report that Virus Bulletin published on September 2, 2008, NOD32 detected 94.4% of all malware and 94.7% of spyware. It stood above competitors like Norton Internet Security and ZoneAlarm but below Windows Live OneCare and Avira AntiVir. In the RAP averages quadrant between December 2011 and June 2012, Virus Bulletin found that ESET was pretty much at the same level, about 94%, but was noted for its ability to block spam and phishing, earning an award, an award only 19 other antivirus companies were able to acquire.[36]
ESET isn't a household name in the U.S., but the Slovak company was founded when the public internet was still in its infancy, and it's one of the biggest antivirus players in Europe, with more than 100 million users worldwide.
The company's Android app, ESET Mobile Security, offers excellent protection and a moderate system-performance impact. But its user interface is outdated, and many of the useful extra features are reserved for users of the premium version, which costs between $10 and $15 per year but offers some multiple-device pricing. It doesn't quite make our list of the very best Android antivirus apps.
ESET reserves a large portion of its functionality for the premium version of the app. If you opt to stick with the free version, you'll retain the antivirus and anti-theft features, but the latter functions will be accessible only via SMS text messages, as you'll lose access to the ESET web portal.
ESET Mobile Security performed well in independent German lab AV-TEST's most recent evaluations of Android mobile security products, conducted in July 2016. It detected 99.9 percent of the 3,459 brand-new malware threats it encountered and an equal percentage of 3,367 samples of malware discovered in the previous four weeks.
Among the six Android antivirus apps we reviewed in 2016, this placed ESET behind Norton Mobile Security and Bitdefender Mobile Security (both of which scored 100 percent on each of the two tests) and Kaspersky Internet Security (99.9/100 percent), but ahead of CM Security (99.7/100 percent) and Avast Mobile Security (99.5/99.7 percent).
Premium subscribers get a number of additional features. Chief among them are access to the Anti-Theft functionality on the ESET web portal, my.eset.com, as well as Proactive Protection, which will flag your device as missing if the app detects suspicious behavior. (Suspicious behavior includes repeatedly incorrect passcode entries, SIM-card removal or the revocation of administrator privileges from ESET Mobile Security.)
One final function isn't what I would consider an anti-theft feature, but is nevertheless useful. You can set the app to automatically send its current GPS location to my.eset.com if the device's battery hits "critical level" and is about to die. Another security app calls this feature "Signal Flare," which is apt.
These results placed ESET Mobile Security in the middle of the pack of the six Android antivirus products we tested with regard to system impact, both post-installation and during full scans. ESET was notably closer to the top-end performers Bitdefender Mobile Security and Kaspersky Internet Security than to those in the second half of the group.
5. You will now be presented with User Consent options. ESET mobile security can run without allowing any of these options, but some features work better or offer more protection if you consent. Tap to check the box next to each option, or tap Allow All at the bottom to enable all. Then tap Next.
Smart security, Internet security, NOD32 antivirus, cyber security and endpoint protection for Windows, Linux, Mac, and Android, anti-theft, encryption, and parental control are some of the products available.
Android 10 brought some significant improvements for security and privacy which are refined in later versions, e.g. the concept of scoped storage, the opportunity to limit the access to some resources (e.g. location) to times when the app is in active use, and certain restrictions on background apps. Apps (except for privileged/system apps) are also prevented from accessing specific device information, e.g. non-resettable device identifiers like IMEI, IMSI, MEID, SIM, and build serial number.
The resulting restrictions imposed on apps targeting Android 10 or later has affected mobile security vendors, among others. Their apps require all available device permissions, including device admin rights, if they are to fully monitor and control the device, and protect sensitive user data against security threats. Because of all the changes made on Android permissions, mobile security apps might provide clearer explanations to users when requesting access to sensitive device areas and setting up in-app security features (e.g. anti-theft).
In regions such as the United States and Europe, only two official app stores dominate the mobile app market: Google Play and the Apple App Store. The risk of inadvertently downloading and installing malware from Google Play is small, as the app store is regularly checked for fraudulent and dangerous apps. However, in many Asian countries, especially China, the risk of being infected by malware is much higher. There are many app stores provided by various third-party vendors, and many smartphones are rooted as well. There are about 1.63 billion active mobile devices in China, and about 76% of them run Android as the operating system. The most used Android app stores are shown in the doughnut chart above. Google Play is used by almost no one (
In November 2020, a US Executive Order was signed, prohibiting US companies (such as Google) from doing business with blacklisted Chinese companies. This also affected Chinese telecommunications and smartphone-manufacturer giants, who produce and sell mobile devices running Android worldwide. Consequently, Google apps and services, including Play Protect, will no longer be available on future device models from certain Chinese developers.
Today, the smartphone is often used as a replacement for the PC, and so is frequently employed for common daily tasks such as online shopping, online banking, money transfers, instant messaging, video conferencing, and emailing. Cyber-attacks are becoming more and more sophisticated, and increasingly target mobile devices, with fraudulent applications attempting to steal user data or money. These apps often appear as fake versions of popular apps, the genuine versions of which have been downloaded by millions of users (including from Google Play). To reduce the risk of becoming a victim, we suggest following the advice given here.
Rooting the smartphone increases the potential that malicious apps will take control of the device. Furthermore, it is not legally clear-cut for some manufacturers whether the warranty is still valid if the phone is rooted. Public Wi-Fi networks (e.g., coffee shop, airport) are popular targets for attackers to steal and compromise sensitive data. Therefore, we advise against entering/sharing sensitive data (user credentials, bank/credit card information, etc.) when connected to a public Wi-Fi, unless you are using a VPN connection; this will encrypt your network traffic and so prevent hackers from reading it. It is also important to keep your mobile device up to date with the latest security patches and Android version, which ensures that previous device vulnerabilities and potentially dangerous APIs are fixed.
In this section, we give a brief overview of common security-related components found in most security products for Google Android. The most obvious component of a mobile security app is the malware scanner, which protects the user against the inadvertent installation of malicious apps on his or her device. Like anti-virus programs for Microsoft Windows, mobile security apps for Android use a number of different protection features. The real-time protection checks new apps during the setup process. This prevents the device being compromised by the installation of a malicious program.
