[br][br]Looking for a way to find out if there are any Spyware on your Android device? Then read to the very end of this thread[br][br]Every single smartphone out there these days come with lots of hardware and software features. Android is so advanced that we are at a point where we don’t even need computers to get most things done.[br][br]Our Infinix Smartphones can do almost anything a Windows PC can do nowadays. While the usability of phones is similar to computers, Android Spyware and viruses are becoming common. You may already have more privacy on your phone at this point than on your PC.[br][br][br]Sign One: Your smartphone misbehaves[br][br][ul][li]Your phone itself automatically shuts down or make weird noises?[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Find apps you don’t remember installing on your phone. Clicking on any other malicious link such as a spam email could invite you to make an accidental invitation on your phone.[br][/li][/ul][ul][li]Rooted smartphones are more likely to be attacked and to misbehave. You must frequently change your passwords. etc[br][/li][/ul]Sign Two: Unusual Battery Drain[br][br]The increased drainage of the battery is a way of knowing whether someone is spying on your phone. After a few weeks of mobile phone use, most people get to know the battery patterns and their average battery life.[br][br]It could be spyware if your phone suddenly undergoes a sub-par battery life without a tangible reason.[br][br]It can also be an older battery, a new app that you have installed which always runs behind or a battery that is not working properly. The same rules apply if your phone heats up for no obvious reason if it is idle. This might be spyware, but in this field, most modern malware has improved.[br][br][br]Signs Three: Unusual Static Noise During Calls[br][br]Unusual sounds or noises during calls?? If during phone calls, you hear beeps or other sounds, it may mean that your calls are being recorded. Such noises can be caused by call recording apps. Further, if the telephone quality has suddenly worsened, your phone calls can also be recorded.[br][br]Signs may be static or feedback. This could also mean, however, that your phone does not handle calls well or that you have simply a poor connection. The world is not always a sinister place, but there is no shortage of problems, including carriers and cell phones.[br][br][br]Sign Four : Auto Shutdown and Reboot[br][br]Spyware or Tracking applications can randomly reboot and shutdown Android devices. You can also notice that random reboots or shutdowns are caused due to an unstable third-party app. Uninstall the app you think causes the random shutdowns, to be sure. You may still be tracked or spied on your phone if you experience a random boot and shutdown. [br][br][br]Sign Five [img src="http://wap.infinix.club/forum/293/static/image/smiley/default/tongue.gif"]op-Ups[br][br]Ironically, a pop-up warning about your Android’s imminent doom can mean the presence of malware in your phone. The more you click these windows on, the more you can move to a shady location or click on something fishy. Do not execute an (exe) file or flash file you are not sure of. Many ads aren’t malware per say, but there’s sometimes a fine line between ads and malware.[br][br][br]Sign Six: Unwanted High Data Usage[br][br]This is also very helpful when determining if spyware or tracking software is installed on your phone. Spyware apps can use a lot of data to send information on your phone, and an increase in the data use on your phone can also be due to spyware on your phone.[br][br][br]Tip :Avoid Pirated Apps[br][br]Be cautious about pirated applications. Advertisers collect information about your ad/app packages. Read about the licenses an app requires and decide whether it will be worth it. See for legit applications and websites clones. An overlay over the bank log-ins is created using a new technique, known as smishing. Ensure that when entering sensitive information, you are on a secure site (IP address starts with HTTPS instead of HTTP).[br][br]
