How to protect your Android smartphone from viruses?

Antivirus is your main protection against viruses. There are free solutions that may not protect against all types of threats, but will give confidence in the future.

For example, Kaspersky antivirus. If you want more security, then it offers a subscription for one Android device for 1 year. If there is a suspicion that the smartphone is already infected, download any of the top antivirus programs and turn on the quick scan. You also need to update your smartphone to the latest OS version – manufacturers often release security updates.

The last thing that will help secure personal data – photos, videos, audio, and so on – is file encryption. It all depends on the version of the smartphone and the installed OS, but Magic OS has a Personal mode. To make it work, you need to set up a password and enter a secret word to recover it.
