You don’t really need an anti-virus for your mobile security. Android doesn’t have a tendency to virus-attack smartphones. Actually, virus is not the correct term to denote the threat in android mobiles. That is called Mal wares.

Every day more than hundreds of anti-virus apps are uploaded and downloaded through the play store. These anti-virus companies are trying to pick customers for their software by raising a simple prompt like ‘your mobile is under virus threat’.

But in reality, this software just scans all files from your mobile and tell susceptible software and files which is malicious. They won’t remove any files from your phone like windows and Mac PCs. You have to remove that application or files manually. But plus point of this anti-virus software is they have additional features like anti-theft and backup options. It will be really helpful to the users.

The disadvantage of this software is they consume battery, runs in the background continuously, and consumes more space.

But actually, malware comes to the phone in various ways. First by the user. Users sometimes download apk files from websites instead of the play store. This will lead your phone to malicious attacks.

Next are some apps from the play store which usually look like famous apps. These apps easily get into the play store because of easy policies and conditions. So they easily get into smartphones.

Another type of threat from hackers will come in the form of E-mail and MMS which are automatically downloaded. This will cause attacks.

Usually, Malwares are trying to steal your personal data from your phone.

They appear on the display as original software and steal your password and IDs easily.

So it is advisable that don’t download unwanted apps from the play store.

Avoid unwanted emails and MMS or delete them.

Download apps from the play store only.

Manage app permissions in settings.

It is 100% avoidable if a user is very careful about what he is doing with the smartphone.
