Security Auditor detects the following system settings that affect the device security:

•Debugging enabled. USB debugging is intended for developers and allows to copy data from a PC to the device and vice versa: install applications on the device, view their logs, and delete them in some cases. If you are not a developer and do not use the debug mode, it is recommended to turn this mode off. To open the corresponding device settings section, tap Settings on the screen with detailed information on the problem.

•Installation of apps from unknown sources is enabled. Installation of applications from unknown sources is one of the main reasons devices with Android 7.1 and earlier get infected.

Applications downloaded from elsewhere other than the official store are likely to be unsafe and become a threat to device security. To mitigate the risks of installing unsafe applications, it is recommended to disable installation of applications from unknown sources. To open the corresponding device settings section, tap Settings on the screen with detailed information on the problem.

All applications you install on your device should be scanned for threats. Before scanning, make sure that the Dr.Web virus databases are up to date.

•Dr.Web notifications are blocked. In this case, Dr.Web cannot immediately inform you on detected threats. This compromises the security of your device. That is why it is recommended to enable Dr.Web notifications in the settings of your device.

•User certificate installed. If any user certificates are detected on your device, Security Auditor detects and displays them. Certificates may be used by a third party to monitor your network activity. If you are not aware why these certificates are installed on your device, you are recommended to remove them.
