is pretty easy to detect that your Android phone has been compromised to a virus attack.[br][br][br]Below are the meaningful signs for you to spot if your phone has been infected by a Virus (mostly malware).[br][br][br]1. Battery Drainage: All of these unauthorized functions in the background will ultimately cause your battery to drain quite quickly because your phone has a virus. So if you notice signs such as drastic drainage in your battery or your phone heating up even if you’re not excessively using it, be alarmed.[br][br][br]2. Excessive Pop-ups: This is one of the most obnoxious and obvious signs of them all. If you’re seeing uncalled for ads, reminders and unfamiliar system warnings, then the integrity of your phone may be compromised. This will result in slowing your phone and wasting your data. Also, you are potentially installing even more malware.[br][br][br]3. Spikes in your Data Usage: should be the first sign that your phone is infected. Phones that are infected with adware (advertising ware) maliciously perform clicks in the background to spawn the profit for cybercriminals. Try to compare your current mobile data charges to the billings of previous months and spot any unusual activity.[br][br][br]4. Unexplained SMS Charges: Adware also sends text messages to premium-rate numbers without the user’s consent and accordingly, charges you behind your back if your phone has a virus.[br][br][br]5. App Auto-Installation: Also, you may have foreign Apps that you don’t recall installing to your phone. Trojan malware is known especially for downloading apps on your phone that is identical to popular apps. [br][br][br]Cybercriminals and hackers, later on, change them to their original form through app updates.[br][br]follow for more tech updates! |
