Tested Products We examined 10 well-known AV apps for Android, and 10 common AV programs for Windows. The products were chosen together with the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF)6, based on popularity in the USA

 

Any info would be appreciated!

Hello @TripleHelix,

 

We have always detected software that is capable of monitoring someone’s device use remotely without consent.
