"Prevention Information"

[Leonard_Ong]

Starting yesterday, I received a badge in notification window with text: "Prevention Information. An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device ...'. Funny thing is that, I"m not rooted, all new apps installed yesterday was closed, norton anti-virus found nothing.

Anyone has the same issue?

I am getting a "Prevention Information" popup after running a root app, how do I disable it?

From terminal emulator or adb shell as root, run; pm disable com.sec.knox.seandroid
Or freeze the Knox apps with Titanium Backup.

If you have not rooted your phone and you got this message, maybe you need to check your knox warranty void flag in download mode.

If you have not rooted your phone and you got this message, maybe you need to check your knox warranty void flag in download mode.

From Setting:
Device Status: Official

From Download mode:
Current Binary: Samsung Official
System Status: Official
Reactivation Lock: Off
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warranty Void: 0x0

Seems fine.

Then I have no idea why non rooted devices also getting that message.

Ts... I have the same problem since yesterday too. Non rooted phone. Didn't really install a lot of apps.

i just suddenly got this message too. when i checked the application list, there's 2 items which looked suspicious to me cos i did not download them on my on at all.

Under the downloaded tab
1) ANT Radio Service
2) ANT+ Plugins

Do any of you all got these 2 apps in your downloaded list as well?

I started getting this 'Prevention information' since ytd. Super annoying. It will show up everytime i connect to Wifi.

I only know temporary fix.
-hold the 'prevention information' message
-press app info
-press force stop.

But if you restart the phone, it will come back again. I did not install any app recently.

Dont need to root. To uninstall, just activate and setup knox on the phone and then while running knox, press the menu button>about knox>uninstall.

there are at least 5 files that's connected to Knox notifications, if you're not rooted there's no way you can uninstall or freeze these files.

 

[sirbljm]

so we can safely say for now that (if unrooted), there is no fix for this damn problem?

I also started to have this message since today...kind of hard to narrow down which app causes it.

 

[toyknight]

I also getting this msg since yesterday. Really hard to find out which app is causing it.
