Antivirus

Mobile devices often do not come preinstalled with security software to protect against malicious applications, spyware, malware-based attacks, unwanted spam messages and e-mail attachments. Without security software, there is a risk that an attacker could distribute viruses, trojans, spyware and spam to lure users into revealing passwords or other confidential information.

Best practices

• Use virus detection software to protect your mobile device against malicious applications.
• Ensure that your antivirus software has anti-malware capabilities and  built-in firewall.
• Enable your antivirus protection at all times.
• Regularly update your virus scanner.
• Scan your applications and memory card regularly.
