Trojan:Android/SLocker

You can set the F-Secure app to scan your device for viruses and other threats automatically. Once the app has completed its scan of the files on your device, you may assess any detected file or files and opt to remove it.

Trojan:Android/SLocker disables the Back button when displaying the ransom message to block the user from trying to recover normal use of the device. The user may however have a few seconds to remove the malicious app by pressing the Home button and dragging the app to the top of the screen to uninstall it.

Alternatively, the user may elect to perform a factory data reset on the device to remove the malicious app. This will also erase all user files saved to the device's main memory, but will not affected files stored on an external memory card.

A False Positive is when a file is incorrectly detected as harmful, usually because its code or behavior resembles known harmful programs. A False Positive will usually be fixed in a subsequent database update without any action needed on your part. If you wish, you may also:

• Check for the latest database updates

  First, check if your F-Secure security program is using the latest updates, then try scanning the file again.

• Submit a sample

  After checking, if you still believe the file is incorrectly detected, you can submit a sample of it for re-analysis.

  Note: If the file was moved to quarantine, you need to collect the file from quarantine before you can submit it.

• Exclude a file from further scanning

  If you are certain that the file is safe and want to continue using it, you can exclude it from further scanning by the F-Secure security product.

  Note: You need administrative rights to change the settings.
