Aside from downloading a reliable antivirus app, there are preventive measures that can also help you protect your phone against external threats. Here are some best practices to keep in mind:
Mobile malware and viruses can affect the performance of the device and its stored applications. The symptoms of an infected phone can easily be detected by observing its behavior. Here are easy ways to tell if your phone caught a virus.
You can use the McAfee Security Android app to scan for viruses, with an option to delete the data or application infected with the virus or to delete the actual malware itself. After this, you can restart or reset your mobile device and restore your content.
A free antivirus app can offer some degree of phone protection against malware. However, as cybercriminals are constantly evolving, our Standard and Plus plan can deliver more holistic protection, giving you advanced features such as content back up, 24/7 support, and VPN for your mobile devices.
Android users can download the McAfee Mobile Security app from the Google Play store, while Apple users can get it from the App store. Get started by installing the app and following the on-screen instructions.
To combat threats specific to each OS, our mobile security app has dedicated and separate features that work best with Android and Apple. But even if each OS has its own set of features to make sure that the additional security we provide for both can combat the latest malware and phishing attacks threatening mobile devices today.
