Mobile devices have become more and more complex over time. Many modern devices have a complex internal structure and have different operating systems. However, the more complex the phone is, the easier it is to catch a virus on it in the process. And this is where mobile antivirus programs and the computer save.
Necessary
Antivirus software for mobile phones
Instructions
Step 1
If you have a Java-based phone, the only way of infection is by installing a malicious Java program. If the device constantly tries to send some kind of SMS when launching the application, makes calls, as a result of which money is withdrawn from your mobile account, then this utility can be called malicious. Uninstall any programs that might make you suspicious. For Java phones, there is no concept of a virus due to the simplicity of the structure and the impossibility of obtaining rights to independently launch a certain process. All programs marked as Mobile Antivirus can also potentially be considered malware.
Step 2
If you have Symbian operating system installed on your phone, there is a chance of infection. Find on the Internet (preferably using a computer running an antivirus program) an antivirus program for the device. Of all the utilities, Defenx Mobile Security, Dr. Web Antivirus (mobile version of a computer application), Mobile Securuty and Kaspersky (also mobile version).
Step 3
Install the downloaded program on your phone and run it in scan mode (item "Scan").
Step 4
If you have an Android device, download all anti-virus utilities directly from the Market. Select the appropriate menu item and enter the query "antivirus" in the search. Among the results that will be displayed on the screen, select the program you like and click "Download and Install".
Step 5
Wait until the installation of the program is completed, then launch it through the menu or add an application shortcut to the desktop. Select the "Full Scan" section and wait for the scan to finish.
