    Anyone notice Samsung has installed a new security app called "Auto Blocker." I noticed my firewall was blocking its attempts to establish an Internet connection. After reading about it it appears it is what they were calling "Message Guard" last year.

    Auto Blocker incorporates Message Guard as an option;
    "Accordion 5: Messaging app protection
    One of the advanced setting options within Auto Blocker is the ability to enable “Message App protection.” The Samsung Message Guard blocks images suspected of containing malicious media content or malware in messaging apps, including apps made by a third-party, to ensure that your device and data are well protected.
