Hi everybody,
I’m using Avast mobile security since a couple of years on my smartphone a rooted samsung Galaxy.
I’m enjoying especially the Firewall option available, very powerfull and complete.
But I have noticed something very strange with my wifi and an App who is using wifi even if my phone was in airplane mode,and wifi and all data roaming was turned off!
Avast “Track network” show that there is 304mo up and 307mo down by “ES file explorer” app, and during the night. But as I said, phone was in airplane mode and wifi was turned off!!! Above all, this app is blacklisted into the avast firewall for all data transfer, include wifi!
How is it possible? Avast didn’t found virus, the app was downloaded from google play, and nobody seems say there is a security problem with this app.
Is it possible that is just the app who try to connect and looping all the time without response, because of the phone’s “hosts” rules configurated by the Avast firewall. That could explain why upload and download counters was pretty the same!
Thanks for your help and advices
