Editor's review
Download the latest Bitdefender USSD Wipe Stopper application, version 1.3, compatible with Windows 10/11 (using emulators such as Bluestacks), Android devices. This free Tools app is developed by Bitdefender and is easy to download and install.
Previous versions, including 1.3, are also available. If you need help or have any problems, please let us know.
Description
The operating system your smartphone is running may be vulnerable to USSD commands that could wipe your entire phone.
Tapping on a link to a cleverly coded web page could order you phone to reset itself to factory settings and disintegrate all your private data with it.
Any Android phone running Phone.apk v 4.1 or lower is at risk and that's the broader base of them. Install Bitdefender's USSD Wipe Stopper to protect against such attacks. Now, once you would tap on a exploiting link, Bitdefender will intercept the wipe command and ask you to decide what to do next. You may, if unsure, dismiss the USSD command.

3 ★ Doesn't seem to work on my HTC Desire phone even though it says my phone is vulnerable. Following instructions and it does not give me any options to use the app to replace default dialer app.
3 ★ Works on Samsung Epic S2, not on HTC EVO 4g, won't change default dialer.
5 ★ To people still thinking this is limited to Samsung or Motorola devices: not so! I have a rooted LG phone, and my brother has a HTC evo 3d. As soon as I read about this exploit from techlicious last Saturday, I installed this fix right away.
2 ★ Hard 2 work with & don't kno whether it is useful or not. Please explain, Thank u
5 ★ Before this app, my phone was attacked by Factory Reset ussds 7 times! Thanks BD. But I am using BD Mobile Security too. Is it includes this feature?
5 ★ Thanks for this simple to use wipe stopper. If your phone is still vunerable you really need to use this software.
1 ★ But I don't think it works on Incredible 4g. Also target higher API. Soft menu should not be shown.
5 ★ I was vulnerable, now fixed.
1 ★ Won't run on HTC Sensation 4G even though it says my device is vulnerable and compatible.
1 ★ Vulnerable and it should work, but it doesn't
5 ★ This app "does not require any special permissions". Thanks, you rarely see that phrase.
1 ★ Doesnt work on sony xperia z1
3 ★ The link to see bitdefender in action returns 404.
1 ★ I used this dialer yesterday for a phone call and now all my pictures, videos and music is gone. Sucks!!!!!
