How can I protect my device from malware?

Malware may be downloaded into your device not only in very obvious, but also hidden and unnoticeable ways. You can reduce the risk that you device will be affected by malware by applying several precautionary measures.

  • Do not give your device to other people, especially if you do not know them well, as they may install malware or spyware in your phone either intentionally or accidentally.

  • Install software, its parts or updates only from official sources (Windows Update, Google Play, Apple iTunes) and do not install software from questionable sources.

  • Do not use hacked (pirated) software and do not perform the s.c. “jail break”, as these software or “jail break” tools often contain malware. This may also cancel your guarantee.

  • Use antivirus and anti-spyware software.

  • Update OS and software on regular basis.
