Don't you just hate when your smartphone has been infected with a virus and you have to reformat it? This reformatting process causes you to lose a lot of your precious documents and other media. The horror is one I feel we all can relate to. Yet often times than not we find ourselves engaging in activities which expose our devices to the cyber demons called viruses. The following are basic ways of protecting smartphones from these viruses;
- Scan SD cards before accessing their content.
- No matter how tempting, avoid signing into unknown WiFi hot spots.
- Use only secure hot spots, they come with a key icon to indicate its security.
- Download content from only trusted sites. Most time these downloads are not free as they come at the cost of infecting your device with virus.
- An antivirus app won't hurt, of course one gotten from the official app store for your device which has guaranteed security.
Like it is said 'prevention is better than cure', especially when it comes to protecting your beloved smartphone from virus.
Until next time , bye for now!
