How to realize your android has a virus - Tudocelular.com

The long weekend has arrived! Today is Friday (or something) and you should already be on the road, going to the coast, capital or any part of the country other than where you live. Android is on hand, ready to use a Waze, Google Maps and all what is necessary to live well with a smartphone. Like computers, your Android is subject to viruses and hacker attacks. We list some ways to notice something is wrong and that someone may be watching, even across the world.

• According to Kaspersky Lab, a Russian antivirus company Kaspersky responsible for 98% of Apps vie with viruses on Android – which is understandable given that Android is the most widely used mobile operating system in the world, with 48.26% of the devices. The company then decided to draw up a list that shows when your Android may have received one of these apps, even without the guilt of having done the direct download of Play Store.

 
• Be suspicious when some pop-ups appear from nowhere, or when a site end up forwarding to another address without user action for change

 

• Monitor closely the consumption of device data, which can be found within the connection options in “More data”. Malicious apps can increase consumption, even without any extra usage by user – how to access more sites, watch videos on YouTube or send more photos to services like Instagram

 

• A greater number of SMS, much larger than you typically wear. This problem can be easily noticed when there is not an unlimited messaging package. If you have one, just look at the amount of messages sent in the monthly bill from the operator. Apps with viruses usually send SMS to paid services that charge you at the end of the month

 

• new Apps appeared, without you having downloaded anything. Some malware automatically download, other apps;

 

• Request permission for something, without installing any app

 

• Bank Account in use, but not for you. Some malware can collect information that you use the app the bank, and have access to banking services,

 

• Apps that promise to unlock the device, charging the user. Remember that the FCC requires that all operators unlock the phone, without charging the user. Use this form of release, not the promise of some app.

 

In addition to listing

how to identify an infected Android is a list of ways to prevent the device from being infected or that the malware back to the gadget.

• not perform root the device, which gives access to more Android than he should offer

 

• Always use a password to unlock the device;

 

• Only download apps from official within the Play Store

 

• Never perform some banking on a public Wi-Fi network

 

• Look with suspicion, for apps that request permissions too (of course, for those who are not as famous or official)

 

• Keep only what you need on your smartphone’s memory

 

• Use parental controls that can limit people’s access to some apps and important information.
