I haven't rooted my mobile phone, but an antivirus is running. Without rooting, how will the antivirus come to know about the files accessed by an application?
Normally, in Linux distributions, it can be found from
/proc/"p-id"/fd
, but in Android root privileges are required to access that folder, although it is not the case in normal Linux distributions. So, without rooting, how does the antivirus come to know about the files accessed by an application? Is there any other way other than accessing /proc/"p-id"/fd
?
