Screen Protector: Stop Spyware 1.3

Screen Protector: Enhances security by preventing screenshots and blacking out recordings to thwart spyware viruses from stealing data and defending against hackers.

Justification for a Screen Protector

• Provides an additional layer of protection against spyware viruses that capture screen activity.
• Hinders hidden spyware from monitoring and extracting sensitive information, such as passwords, through visual recording Traces.
• Maintains user privacy and security without trackers.
• Operates without requiring internet access to ensure optimal user privacy and safeguarding.

Understanding Screen-Capture Spyware

Malicious malware and spyware often include modules capable of recording your screen, allowing hackers to monitor your on-screen activity covertly. This capability enables unauthorized surveillance and the clandestine collection of private data, including login credentials, personal conversations, and other confidential information—potentially leading to unauthorized access to personal accounts or identity theft.

Data Theft via Spyware Viruses

Hackers deploy concealed spyware to secretly monitor mobile activity, capturing keystrokes, taking screenshots, and accessing sensitive information without user awareness. This compromises device security, emphasizing the need for supplementary protective measures to prevent such recording activities.

Premium Features

To enable functionalities that allow screenshots and recordings in certain applications—potentially reducing protection—you can unlock premium features by a simple donation (e.g., a coffee). Premium options include:

• Setting specific trusted applications where hacker protection can be disabled or enabled as needed.
• Switching between Whitelist (protect all apps except specified) and Blacklist (protect only specified apps).
• Using a widget for quick toggling of protection to facilitate temporary modifications.
• Automatic activation of protection at device startup for continuous security.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why can I still take screenshots or record on my lock screen or notifications despite enabling protection?
2. In Android 8.0+ devices, system restrictions prevent blocking screenshots or recordings on the lock screen, notification panel, or on-screen navigation buttons.
3. I am still able to record my screen. Does this mean the protection isn’t working?
4. While recordings can be made, they are blackened by the protection layer, indicating effective barrier against visual capture.
5. Why are notifications recorded while other content is blacked out?
6. In Android 8.0+, only the main display content can be fully protected; notifications may still be visible but are restricted from being captured visually or in recordings.
7. How can I verify that the protection is active?
8. If you attempt to take a screenshot with protection enabled and receive a system notification that screenshots are restricted, it confirms that the protective measures are functioning effectively.
9. Does the whitelist block apps from recording/screenshots or permit specific apps to be recorded?
10. The whitelist designates apps permitted to be recorded or screenshotted; other apps remain protected.
11. I want to allow certain apps to be recorded without protecting all applications. How should I set this up?
12. Navigate to Trusted Apps → Tap the three-dot menu in the top right → Set Trusted Apps Mode to Blacklist. This configuration permits all apps to record unless they are specifically blacklisted from protection.
13. Why are Google Play services undetectable by the protector?
14. To comply with Google policies, Google Play services must operate without interference from protective layers, which might otherwise hinder their functionality.
15. I encounter issues with specific apps or device behavior when protection is enabled. What should I do?
16. If certain applications malfunction due to overlay interference, consider disabling the protector for these apps or adding them to a whitelist for seamless operation.

Note: The application functions locally on your device, safeguarding against screen capture malware by preventing visual data theft within your device. It does not block screenshots or recordings made on external devices during interactions such as video calls.
