5


So usually we all think viruses affect only phones and laptops. But the covid-19 virus has proven us all wrong, we human get affected too. Even when we’re not robots. #staysafe
So most of us, our phones are already infected by a virus. But we just didn’t notice. I’ll be showing you five signs that you phone MIGHT be infected by a virus.
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR PHONE FROM MALWARE.
1.       Always download apps from verified sources like google play store. Downloading apps from sites like waptrick is really risky. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
2.       Always install an anti-virus soft were, like ESET mobile security..

SIGNS YOUR PHONE IS INFECTED
1.       On our first list here is “POOR PERFORMANCE” . Since your phone is like a computer. Slowing down in performance is a sure sign of a virus.
2.       New apps you didn’t install: it’s obvious a malicious app is installing these apps to your phone,  and they might also contain viruses too
3.       Reduction of battery: to some of us who leave our phone at, let’s say 70% and come back to meet it at 67%. I didn’t say your phone is infected, it just has seen better days. But if it’s like 70% and reduces to 40%. Then your phone is infected.
4.       Too much data consumption: viruses also send and receive data from their creators, so they need internet connection, which means they need you data to. [BUT WHY CANT THE CREATORS JUST BUY DATA FOR THEM SELVES??]
5.       Your phone contacts receiving strange SMS: It can use your phone to send spam texts to your contacts and it can also lead to your contacts device being infected too.

WHAT TO DO.
·         FIRSTLY, switch your device to airplane mode to stop it from sending or receiving any data.
·         SECONDLY: Check your recently installed apps. If you can’t remember downloading some apps, delete them.
·         THIRDLY, install an anti-virus app, and scan your device.

So that’s basically what we have for you guys today. See you next time #cazwardteam
I’ll just leave this short video here… watch and enjoy.. lolz..
