[QUOTE="Parsh, post: 872476, member: 58090"] You're being unnecessarily worried about all possible situations. Do you think someone is after you? This paranoia can lead you to download unknown tools that may or may not be safe. Every such app has counterparts meaning to take undue advantage of fear of security. Just do basic Wifi security checks and you're good. Change the default admin username and password. Update your router firmware to latest version. Basic security settings like encryption, SPI Firewall etc should be default in your router configuration. Verify that it uses WPA/WPA2 security (and AES encryption) instead of the older WEP. You can revise them with some guides. If you really want to learn in depth about wifi security, you can start with this thread [URL='https://malwaretips.com/threads/five-ways-to-check-if-your-router-is-configured-securely.79268/']https://malwaretips.com/threads/five-ways-to-check-if-your-router-is-configured-securely.79268[/URL] Your phone will only connect to wifi if you enable wifi and connect to it. Use mobile data or wifi, doesn't matter. Relax. The site that hosts Netcut app looks old and genuine but it's not encrypted. Anyways, instead of using such apps just secure your basic router settings like I said. You already have a good internet security to provide network protection to your PC.

Gallery will surely ask for "storage" access to access your media, besides contacts and other permissions for extra functionality. Just don't download/use unknown, non-famous, not-much-downloaded apps... don't download from 3rd party app stores and have an AV for your peace of mind :) [/QUOTE]
