Security camera monitoring software problem

Apr 29, 2018

    A friend said he had lent his mobile phone to a new colleague before. He was worried that he would download the security camera monitoring software on his mobile phone, causing Alipay and WeChat password to leak. So in order to ensure the safety of funds, can I solve some problems by restoring factory settings? After restoring the factory settings, modify Alipay and WeChat passwords for security purposes.


    As for the security of mobile phones, the friend's concern is not superfluous. Now is the information age, the importance of personal privacy is self-evident. Except for some on Android_ In addition to the application, some professional security camera monitoring software may also be hidden in the depths of the system, allowing mobile phone users to unknowingly steal data and even malicious remote operation. Moreover, this security camera monitoring software basically hides its own relevant information. Without a desktop icon, it opens and starts automatically. For most people who do not understand hard mobile phones, it is difficult to find its existence.


    Restoring factory settings is to restore the status of the phone to the factory status, also known as resetting the phone. Most mobile software problems can be solved by this operation, but not all problems. Some system level data will not be cleared. For example, if the software version of some brand mobile phones is low when they leave the factory, and then users upgrade the system online and restore the factory settings, they can only clear all user data, but can not reduce the mobile phone system version from a higher version to a lower version.


    Therefore, if you suspect that someone has installed security camera monitoring software in your mobile phone, you can clear the software by restoring the factory settings. After all, most monitoring software still stays at the application software level and has not reached the level of embedded system kernel.


    In addition to the simple and crude operation of restoring factory settings, there are two methods to remove malicious monitoring software for reference.


    The monitoring software basically includes some mobile phone use rights that illegally obtain users' mobile phone data. Therefore, the software code must contain relevant code modules. Antivirus software can detect monitoring software, viruses and Trojans in mobile phones, and prompt users to clear them by detecting these malicious codes.


    In this way, you only need to install an anti-virus software on your mobile phone, such as mobile security housekeeper and security guard. Therefore, this method is a simple way to remove malware.


    If some malware is difficult to remove through technical means such as root embedded system, brush can be used. However, brushing the machine is difficult and risky, so try not to use this method until you have to.


    If the mobile phone maliciously installs security camera monitoring software, it can be solved by restoring the factory settings. However, in this process, important information such as mobile phone address book, mobile phone photo album, wechat chat records and software data will be lost. Therefore, before restoring the factory settings, you must remember to back up the important data on the mobile phone to avoid unnecessary losses.
