Today I want to talk to you about SpeedCharge and BoostCharge, two names for the same advertising network that works like malware by sneaking advertising through a false loading screen.
This blootware, present in widely used applications such as the free version of Es File ExplorerIt even bypasses unlocking patterns to sneak invasive advertising from this malicious app.
SpeedCharge and BoostCharge, this is how it works advertising on the lock screen
When installing the free version of this powerful search engine I have found a lot of de advertising on the lock screen through a fake loading screen whenever the phone is connected to power.
The problem with this bloatware is not the fact that it obliges us to impose advertising, but rather that slows down the terminal loading speed by keeping the screen on at all times.
And it also skips the unlock patterns allowing directly access the content. A very serious security problem since when you click on the ad the mobile takes you directly to the download page, skipping the unlock pattern or the fingerprint that the user has activated. You have to be very careful with certain applications since these malicious applications are integrated into apps available in the official Google store.
And not, there is no antivirus or cleaning tool to detect the threat and delete it. The only possible option is to delete the application that you have installed and that has this bloatware. There is no other. The list of applications with these integrated apps is huge, there are even developers who have their entire catalog infected, so what I recommend is that, if you see that advertising suddenly appears on your lock screen, do not hesitate to uninstall the latest application that you have downloaded.
If you do not know what app it is, you will have to find which app is running the ChargeLockerService process. To do this you have to go to Settings - Development Options - Running services and review the processes one by one.
Alfonso, from affection… Logically, what about this application that you mention is fireworks, without a doubt, but that you complain about the advertising, when browsing your page without blockers is a real torture, does it sound a bit cynical, don't you think? From a mobile phone, the amount of crap you see browsing this website is tremendous. If I were you, I would rethink how you have thought about it.
Without acrimony.
