Behavior list below will trigger Miui to uploading your installed app list(Tested on Miui China Mainland version):
- Launch Security - Settings - Security scan - Check for updates(Whether Online definitions is on or off)
- Force Stop SecurityCenter(Whether Online definitions is on or off)
- Clear Security app data
