Administrators Marcos 5,071 Posted September 10, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 10, 2022 Since the scam doesn't seem to open in a supported browser, there's probably nothing you could do to block or remove it. Just be vigilant and pay attention to what you tap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,071 Posted September 12, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2022 Since I have no clue what files you downloaded, please upload them to a safe location and drop me a personal message with a download link. Note that ESET Mobile Security for Android can detect only threats in Android applications. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,071 Posted September 12, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 12, 2022 Those are Office documents and jpg images.

And jpg files are created via Google Drawings, so they have malicious links. Obviously you can't see that, but on my Google Drive I can see that. For example. Now the link on this picture is dead, but when I got this spam file on my Google Drive it was alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

See that: Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Example 6 And several others with restricted access, so I can't give links on them.

Eset detects spam/malware in e-mail via a plug-in scanner for any of the e-mail client software Eset supports. This is possible because the e-mail is being scanned while it is being downloaded to the receiving device. Google Drive is cloud based storage. Eset has no way to determine what is or isn't spam/malware on that storage medium. I assume that if a Google Drive file was actually downloaded and malicious, Eset would detect it.

As I said before, I downloaded them and scanned them via on-demand scan of Windows product.

If most AVs are week, then it's a reason why ESET should be week also. Where is a logic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,071 Posted September 18, 2022 Administrators Share Posted September 18, 2022 Jpg files with some scam text in the images are not subject to detection. While some of the other Office files contained Russian scam links, they pointed to non-existing urls. Again, just scam, no real threats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
