4 Ways To Get Prevented From Android Malware

Ahsan — Sat, 21 Apr 2012 16:54:11 +0000

“If you’re famous you’re in danger”, that’s certainly the case with android as being the lead in the tablet market android has became the “high priority” target for the scammers and malware developers who are eager to steal data and money from unsuspecting Android users, which can also be verified with the face that last year between July and November 2011 over 400 percent increase in android malware was recorded, security firms like McAfee and Lookout claims that every 3 out 10 Android devices are endangered to be affected by malware programs.

Well above paragraph would have rang all sorts of bells in the mind of Android users. Yes, Android’s malware situation seems complex and it’s not going to be getting simpler any time soon. As said “precaution is better than cure”, there are some simple things you can do that greatly reduce the chances you’ll have any problems.

Only Download From Trusted App Stores

First of all, Don’t just download any app from any source you happen to encounter. Go to your Android device’s applications settings menu and disable the “unknown sources” option for installing apps. This will prevent your device from installing apps via email, the Web, or any source besides Google Play.

Check The App And The Publisher Before Download

Before downloading any new app, check out both the app & the publisher. This means looking further than reviews posted in whatever marketplace you’re using, as corrupt publishers normally write their own five-star reviews. So, look for reviews from independent sources.

Never Install APKs From USB

Do not install APKs (Android application package files) directly from an SD card or a USB device. Unless you’re a skilled Android developer (with tools), there’s almost no way to determine what an APK will do until you’ve already run it at which point, there’s usually no going/way back.

Always Check Permissions

Whenever you download or update an app, Android will present a list of permissions it requires to run. Don’t just blind your way through the list in your rush to the app: See if it makes sense. Does a wallpaper app really need to know your location? Does an app that let you keep track of baseball player states really need access to your address book? Probably not. If apps ask for inappropriate things, they may be up to no good.

Hoping that following these simple suggestions will make you safe from nasty malware programs out there, Stay Safe and Keep Enjoying !

How To Check And Remove Flashback Malware In MAC OS-X

Ahsan — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 18:14:58 +0000

Recently Flashback Malware has rung the bells for MAC world, and raised a serious threat as normally MAC OS are considered to be virus and malware threat free.

Today, we’ll try to guide our readers that how can you check that are you affeted with flashback virus and if you are, then how can you get it removed.

HOW TO CHECK YOU ARE AFFECTED WITH FLASHBACK MALWARE?

Checking the presence of Flashback Malware is pretty easy, you just have to open the Terminal application in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder and run the following commands:

defaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES

defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment

defaults read /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironment

These commands will read the “Info.plist” file of some target applications, and the “environment.plist” file in the user account, and determine if the variable used by the malware to launch itself (called “DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES”) is present. If the variable is not present, then these three Terminal commands will output that the default pair “does not exist,” but if they are present then these commands will output a path that points to the malware file, which you should see in the Terminal window.

In addition to the above commands, you can check for the presence of invisible .so files that past variants of the malware create in the Shared user directory by running the following command in the Terminal:

ls -la ~/../Shared/.*.so

After running this command, if you see an output of “no such file or directory” then you do not have these files in your user shared directory; however if they are present then you will see them listed.

HOW TO REMOVE FLASHBACK MALWARE?

In case you do get affected from Flashback Malware, don’t panic, just follow the below steps and hopefully you’ll be able to get rid of it:

Open the Terminal and run the following commands (the same as above):defaults read /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironmentdefaults read /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironmentdefaults read ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIESWhen these commands are run, make a note of the full file path that is output to the terminal window (it may be paired with the term “DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES”). For each of the commands that output a file path (and do not say the domain pair does not exist), copy the full file path section and the run the following command with the file path in place of FILEPATH in the command (copy and paste this command):grep -a -o ‘__ldpath__[ -~]*’ FILEPATH
Locate the files mentioned in the output of the above commands, and delete them. If you cannot locate them in the Finder, then for each first type “sudo rm” in the terminal followed by a single space, and then use your mouse cursor to select the full file path from the first command’s output, and use Command-C followed by Command-V to copy and paste it back into the Terminal. Then press Enter to execute the command and remove this file. See the following screenshot for an example of how this should look:
After running the command and revealing the path to the malware file, copy the path to the “sudo rm” command on a new line as is shown here to have the system delete it.When you have deleted all the files references by the “defaults” commands above, then you have removed the malware files, but you still need to reset the altered applications and account files, so to do this run the following commands:sudo defaults delete /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironmentsudo chmod 644 /Applications/Safari.app/Contents/Info.plistsudo defaults delete /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info LSEnvironmentsudo chmod 644 /Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/Info.plist
defaults delete ~/.MacOSX/environment DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES

launchctl unsetenv DYLD_INSERT_LIBRARIES
In the Finder, go to the Go menu and select Library (hold the Option key in Lion to reveal this option in the menu), and then open the LaunchAgents folder, where you should see a file named something like “com.java.update.plist.” Next, type the following command into the Terminal (Note: change the name of “com.java.update” in the command to reflect the name of the file before its .plist suffix, such as “com.adobe.reader” if you have that file):defaults read ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.java.update ProgramArgumentsWhen this command is completed, press Enter and note the file path that has been output to the Terminal window.As you did previously, locate this file in the Finder and delete it, but if you cannot do so then type “sudo rm” followed by a single space, and then copy and paste the output file path into the command and press Enter.
To remove any hidden .so files found earlier, you can remove them by running the following command in the Terminal (be sure to copy and paste this command, as there should be absolutely no spaces in the last component that contains the symbols and punctuation marks):

sudo rm ~/../Shared/.*.so

After this step is complete, remove the file called “com.java.update.plist” (or “com.adobe.reader.plist” and with the completetion of this step you will be flashback free.
