Mobile Security

There might’ve been a time when you weren’t overly worried about your mobile devices getting infected by malware – after all, viruses and spyware were a threat mostly to computers. But as smartphones and tablets become increasingly popular, so do threats that target mobile devices exclusively. There are plenty of app developments that is targeted for malware. Though it’s not just Android. If you have a mobile device, you need to know how malware is targeting it and what you can do about it. If malware sneaks on to your phone or tablet, it can install adware, activate SMS Trojans that send out expensive text messages from your phone without you knowing, and even let others spy on your emails, texts and web browsing. Finally, after downloading and installing your anti-malware app, don’t forget to scan your mobile device  regularly. Schedule a scan once a week or more if you want to make sure your device is safe and that there are no threats hiding in the recesses of your phone or tablet, waiting for the right moment to strike.
