Description
*** News: Thousands of Android apps fail to validate SSL certificates ***
US CERT has recently identified about 3,400 Android apps to date that do not properly validate SSL certificates, leaving them open to Man in the Middle (MITM) attacks. Possible outcomes are credential stealing or arbitrary code generation. Use the Belarc Security Advisor to automatically check to see if you have any of these vulnerable apps. _________________________________________________________________________________
Move into the 21st century of computer security. Signature based methods such as anti-virus, anti-malware, and anti-spyware offered good enough security in the past, but today many attacks are not stopped by these methods. One reason is because the threats change faster than the anti-virus or malware signatures can be updated. Security experts say that the best way to achieve security is to make sure your installed apps and operating system are not vulnerable to attacks or malicious software.
Belarc's Security Advisor does this by automatically checking your Android tablet or phone for thousands of security vulnerabilities in both the operating system and installed apps, and gives you the result in seconds as to which ones are vulnerable and need to be updated. The Security Advisor also works with all other security apps such as anti-virus and anti-malware apps.

BelArc Security Advisor Good and bad. I have a Samsung Galaxy 5 running Android 6.0.1 --- no issues. *****5 stars here ***** I should check this out on my PC. ______ However I have (an older) Verizon tablet running [[[Qtaqz3 (Quanta)Android 5.1.1 Build LMY47V]]]. 63 vulnerabilities, 35 of which are HIGH. ____ Seems like the carrier needs to address the vulnerabilities. ____ thanks in advance.

Excellent app Have used Belarc on computer for a while. Great information on your system.
★★☆☆☆
I'm obviously missing something here. Or am I? This app let's me know about the lapses in security within my OS and apps. I can uninstall a risky app, however, I cannot remove my OS. So unless there is an OS update, I am powerless to do anything. So in most cases I would imagine, Belarc informs you of a problem that is not fixable. So what's the point?
★★☆☆☆
Outdated definitions Installed and ran this app. It found no vulnerabilities. Opened the settings menu and last definition update was over 2 months ago. No option to manual or automatic update..... Uninstalled.
