The best course of action against this bug would be to upgrade your device once the patch is ready from your phone's manufacturer. If no such patch is received or you don't want to wait until then, Trend Micro's Mobile Security app will also detect malicious apps that want to take advantage of this vulnerability.

Well that's just great because T-Moible isn't updating the Note II any more and I'm not buying a Note 5 ever. Also the link to Trend Micro says that software is not available for download to any of my Android device's country, which is strange because I'm in the US. So again, Android uses are left unprotected with no way to fix the problem. With all the hate Microsoft gets, at least when they fix a problem. everyone(with a legit license) can download the fix and are not dependent on OEMs to release their own fix customized for a specific set of hardware.
