Catch.Me.If.You.Can and Security Concerns

[Inpecstigator]

Forgive me if this was asked, though I am 99% sure it hasn't come up yet because I did thorough searching using the site's search engine as well as third party engines.

 

This morning I attempted to download and install game guardian (using this site's download link), and when I opened up the .apk there were quite a few flashes on my screen which instantly made me panic and think I might have messed up and downloaded some nefarious application. I quickly uninstalled, wiped, did all I could and I noticed that when I installed Game Guardian there was a second app installed, same icon and everything, called catch.me.if.you.can.

 

Now, I already know that antivirus and other security programs will flag Game Guardian as dangerous software because of its inherent nature, but I really need some assurance that Game Guardian.net is not a group of malicious individuals. More importantly, what is this second apk that was downloaded and installed? I really am worried right now and want to know if anyone can explain this Catch.Me.If.You.Can deal.

 

Bless you all in advance.

Correct. It is new persistent package name.

For prevent detection GG reinstall self with random package name. Some technically limits need restart app - this can be cause of "blinking" app on start.

 

You download GG, start it, It start install self and run, You go to in panic and remove new package - installer stay on device.

 

Summary - it is not normal.

But if you can not trust us - do not install GG and do not use it.

Some hackers use this site to plant in Bugs,Viruses and many kind of stuff but for me GG is very useful plus its virus free so what's wrong with that The GG site just needs to be refreshed.

I do not think so.

There's a XDA thread regarding this. Looks like it's a tracker, but I can't tell for sure. If the developer can't prove me wrong, I'm gonna try to spread that, as good as I can.

I don't think there is a need to prove something to you.

You are not forced to install this app nor paying anything for it.
