Mobile antivirus software is detection and protection tools used to identify and remove viruses on mobile devices. Modern antivirus software can protect devices against a wide range of malware, including worms, viruses, and Trojans. So far mobile security threats have been a relatively minor annoyance to a limited number of users in Europe and Asia. But even though the risk of catching a virus on your mobile phone is still relatively small, it is continuously increasing as the use of e-mail and internet on mobile phones is growing. Just like computer viruses, those that infect smart phones are often looking to harvest data such as usernames, email addresses of your contacts, account and financial data, etc. Some can even access your GPS, camera and data stored on your phone. This information can then be used to send spam marketing emails to your friends, posing as you, or compromise your bank or credit card accounts. One of the viruses discovered in China would send texts from your phone to pay-per-text services that run up a big charge on your bill. Check your mobile phone for a SMS message with a download link. Click on the link and follow the on-screen instructions. Click the “I Agree” button to start the installation process. It may take a few moments for the anti-virus software to examine and scan your mobile phone for viruses, malware and spyware. This function may also be a part of the installation process before the anti-virus software application begins installing its files on your mobile phone. The mobile anti-virus software application then scans all of the applications and files on your mobile phone to isolate and remove any viruses, spyware and malware. Continue choosing features from the menu list to help safeguard your mobile phone.
