It should add things like scanning for fraudulent items or targeted scams. And for those of you that say it doesn't work... Check the terms/conditions box. You need to do that to start the scan....

Yes it does work. However in defence of those who couldn't get it to scan because they didn't check the terms and conditions box, said box is virtually impossible to see.

Same issue for me. Wont allow me to start scan. Whoever allowed this app to be released without it working needs to be sacked. Im using Kitkat 4.4.4 on Sony expira E4

No Surprise to me! Just as it says, McAfee checks apps for fraudulent activity. Keep up the Good Work, guys! Prevent your Android from becoming infected in the first place. Read, learn, Research! Avoid Cognitive Dissonance >>!

How do you open it. Have used McAfee on my desktop never had this kind of trouble. Maybe will reinstall after bugs are fixed.

The button for the agreement (the check box) is too close to the end, and some screen protectors making it hard/impossible to click. It should be able to run in background, or save history.

About this app

Fake ID is an Android vulnerability that allows applications to impersonate other applications by copying their identity that can then be used for malicious purposes.

Allows for malicious apps to impersonate other applications by copying their identity – their digital certificate(s) used to cryptographically sign the application package (APK file) – and combining it with their own signature making a chain whereby the parent signature (also known as the “issuer”) can be used to verify the child signatures.

The Fake ID vulnerability, is present in most Android versions 2.1 and above. Depending on the hardware manufacturer and the version of Android running on your device you may be vulnerable to one or more of more privileged attack vectors as described by BlueBox who discovered the vulnerability and of course, given this problem relates to chains of certificates, a hacker could chose to include many certificates to cover all of these options, and more, in their specifically crafted malware.

McAfee Fake ID Detector enables you to quickly discover if your applications contain the exploit.
