The characteristic Device Administration for Android είναι ένα ισχυρό API που κυκλοφόρησε για πρώτη φορά με το Android 2.2. Προσφέρει αρκετές δυνατότητες σε επίπεδο συστήματος, και καθιστά διαθέσιμα πάρα πολλά χαρακτηριστικά, όπως το format από απόσταση, την αποθήκευση δεδομένων σε μια άλλη συσκευή ή εφαρμογή κανόνων για τους κωδικούς accesss.
Apps that request administrator privileges on the device, as you have already noticed, are requesting the owner permission to access that API.
You can of course control which apps have these rights on any Android device with 2.2 version and up. To do this, open your device settings and select security.
There you have to find an option that will allow you to see all the device administrators. Administrators are listed with their name and a brief description of what they can do. You can also see if one of them is active or not at the time you check your device.
One problem faced by Android users is that the malicious applications, do not appear in the list, and let them have administrator privileges.
Η εφαρμογή Hidden Device Admin Detector της Trend Micro έχει σχεδιαστεί για να ανιχνεύει την Andrοid συσκευή σας για αυτούς τους κρυμμένους διαχειριστές.
Very easy to use, you just need to press the scan button. Scan does not last long. If the application detects a hidden manager, it will ask you to enable it to disable it from your system.
The application is ideal for users of old versions of Android, as malware can not be hidden in new releases, or at least Google claims. Trend Micro's Hidden Device Admin Detector application does not require special permissions.
