Tips on how to protect your mobile phone form Virus?

What is mobile phone virus?
A mobile phone virus is specially designed for it and it spreads from one vulnerable cell phone to another.

Viruses now-a-days are quite advanced than the initial periods of its history in cell phones. They can corrupt your important data or simply erase it, if it has infected your phone. The latest viruses are capable of sending fake messages or even spreading by itself through the mode of bluetooth. The current security risk has increased to a considerable level than it used to be 4-5 years back.

What should you do to against virus infection?

1.Mobile is not excluded when it comes to picking up viruses and Trojans on the mobile. In fact mobile is just as likely to pick up these viruses as a laptop or desktop computer. Installing this software and keeping it updated will allow your phone to stay running smoothly without loss of information or loss of programs on your mobile. Suffice it to say that a good antivirus killer is the top defense for your mobile phone to protect it from these viruses.

2. Be careful where you download from. There are many places on the internet that have hacked goods, but beware when doing this. Only download content from trusted sources.

3.Always keep your bluetooth switched-off unless required. Or it is preferable to keep your handset to hidden mode unless you need it to be visible. If by chance you have forgotten to switch-off your bluetooth, remember not to open any bluetooth messages or files sent by a stranger or an unknown source.

4.Never lend your memory card to anyone. It might get infected if the person to whom you have lent you MMC has infected his phone and he/she inserts your card in his phone. Also remember not to insert someone else's MMC in your handset since there are chances of his MMC containing a virus or malware.

5.Many public spaces are now Bluetooth-equipped and you may receive such a message from a person in the same location. These messages try to pass themselves off as security updates and carry the name of the Symbian OS. Once again, don't open such messages: security patches are never sent this way.
