gdsingh94 , via OnePlus 7 , May 15, 2020 :

you have installed some 3rd party app thats powered by tencent...

 

BadGuyGenius , May 15, 2020 :

I understand that but what is this other file that says SPYWARE? it wasn't there before. Is it anything to be concerned about? Should I uninstall whatever apps is tencent?

 

gdsingh94 , via OnePlus 7 , May 16, 2020 :

thats upto you

 

BadGuyGenius , May 16, 2020 :

Hmmmm. I'm guessing you don't understand that I'm asking is it a risk to the security of my phone

 

gdsingh94 , via OnePlus 7 , May 16, 2020 :

i don't know which app it is how important it is to you. whta do you expect me to say? delete the app? if you have doubt your self why did you install the app in the first place?

 

BadGuyGenius , May 16, 2020 :

no need to get rude. if you don't know anything about my question then please allow someone to reply that does. I'm simply asking is if safe to just ignore thiis or should I delete the app. As for when I installed the app those files weren't present! so those files were added without my knowledge by said app.

you're in doubt, not us!

storage permission and other permission to blame!
also i would delete/uninstall all tencent things right away...

 

BadGuyGenius , May 16, 2020 :

Thank you! that's all I was asking. Is advice from someone who is more knowledgeable about tencent app.

I figured out what this was now.... OnePlus had me to get device log files for a system bug I was experiencing. That made the tencent folder and files. [e]1f44d[/e]

 

B_Wrath , May 16, 2020 :

Nope. That won't create these folders.
I have given lots of bug reports and logs and never had it create this folder.

 

BadGuyGenius , May 16, 2020 :

If you say so sir! I have recreated it the exact same way four times now to be sure. So I'm 💯 positive this is what's creating said files.

 

B_Wrath , via OnePlus 6 , May 16, 2020 :

Can you tell me what steps you used to generate the bug report?

 

BadGuyGenius , May 16, 2020 :

B_Wrath , May 16, 2020 :

Do one thing, install fx file manager. It attaches the icon of every every app against the folder it creates. Take a screenshot and send.

 

BadGuyGenius , May 16, 2020 :

look I have other things to do than argue with you about this. I know for a fact what created those files. if you don't want to believe that then it's on you.

Thread cleaned up, please refrain from getting into personal fights and stick to topic at hand.

Unless.....the OnePlus logger is the spyware.

 

B_Wrath , May 16, 2020 :

You don't say!

Well, then move on to those other things that you have to do.
