What Our Users Are Saying
Verified reviews from Google Play
“I installed this mostly out of curiosity — and it immediately flagged an app I’d had for months as a hidden tracker harvesting my contacts and location. I had no idea. Uninstalled that app instantly. Genuinely shocked at how deep the scan went.”
“My phone had been acting weird for weeks — battery dying fast, random pop-up ads even on the home screen. Ran MalwareFox and it found and removed 3 adware apps in under a minute. Phone is back to normal. Wish I’d tried this sooner.”
“I travel for work constantly and use hotel and airport Wi-Fi all the time. Since turning on the web protection, I’ve had peace of mind I didn’t know I was missing. It’s blocked a surprising number of sketchy redirects. Runs completely silently in the background.”

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check for malware on my Android phone?
The most reliable way is to use a dedicated Android security app like MalwareFox. After installing, run a full device scan — it checks installed apps, downloads, and storage for known malware signatures and suspicious behaviour.
Signs your phone may already be infected include: battery draining unusually fast, unexpected data usage, pop-up ads appearing outside of any browser, and apps you don’t remember installing.
What are Android phone monitoring codes?
Android includes built-in USSD codes you can dial to check certain security settings:
*#21# — Shows whether call forwarding is active. If your calls are being redirected without your knowledge, this can indicate monitoring.
*#62# — Shows the number calls are forwarded to when your phone is off or out of range.
##002# — Disables all call forwarding (a useful reset if you discover unexpected redirects).
These codes reveal forwarding settings but won’t detect spyware apps installed on the device — for that, use a dedicated scanner like MalwareFox.
How do I stop spyware on Android?
To remove spyware from your Android device:
1. Run a full scan with MalwareFox — it detects and removes known spyware automatically.
2. Review your installed apps in Settings → Apps and uninstall anything you don’t recognise.
3. Check app permissions in Settings → Privacy → Permission Manager — revoke camera, microphone, and location access for apps that don’t need them.
4. Avoid sideloading apps from outside the Play Store, as these are a common spyware vector.
How do I remove unwanted ads and pop-ups on Android?
Persistent ads outside of a browser — especially full-screen pop-ups when unlocking your phone — are typically caused by adware installed as an app. To remove them:
1. Scan with MalwareFox to identify and delete the adware app automatically.
2. If ads appear only in your browser, enable MalwareFox’s WebShield feature to block ad-serving and tracking domains.
3. Check recently installed apps — adware is often bundled with free apps, games, or utilities downloaded from third-party stores.
