Yes.  The above app is a misnomer - it isn't a detector at all.  It
merely makes a claim as to whether your device could be vulnerable.
If you've disabled all the routes by which SF could do anything, it
/still/ says you could be vulnerable - I don't think it detects
whether the routes are or are not enabled.

Pretty much useless IMHO.
