Deleting Carrier IQ from Android Devices

A lot of people naturally became worried when a YouTube video became viral online about an application – Carrier IQ – that has been reported to be stealing the personal information of people from their mobile phones without them knowing it. Because of this, a lot of Android users became really worried even though some really big network carriers like T-Mobile, Sprint and AT&T have already said that this application is not placed on mobile phone to be able to get some personal information from users. Even with this confirmation, some people are still scared and just prefer to take out Carrier IQ from their mobile phones.

Before actually deleting completely this mentioned application, it is important first for a person to find out whether his/her device actually has Carrier IQ installed in it or not; this can be done by using other applications like BitDefender and Lookout. If in the event that either of the two programs tells a user that the mobile phone has this Carrier IQ, there is an available method to delete it. People can download the removal tool that was created just for this problem and its name is TestApp Pro Key. The only problem with this application is that a person will be required to purchase it for $0.99, but if one is really concerned about the security of his/her information, this price will definitely be worth it.
