How to save yourself from malwares? Android-Side

in tutorials •  8 years ago 

I laughed at many people saying they got messages on their phone of fake advertising of batteries with viruses, OS with viruses websites and so on, until the day I was doing a demonstration to my friend of a website I liked and these popups started coming out during the experiment and making it vibrate in loop, ringing for attention and stuff.

In that moment I decided, counterattack it.

First:

Avoid basic browser of your phone, most appreciated is Firefox/Chrome

Download the addon called uBlock or AdBlock, that will be very userful in your adventure on visiting websites without the problem of fake warnings and stuff.

Important:

If you accidentally clicked ok on an advertising of those, cancel immediately the download

If you downloaded it, delete it on the fly!

Always carry a good Antivirus, or, if you are worried or paranoid, go for Malwarebytes antimalware, a specialist for PC now is even on androids.

I would like to add one more tip. DO NOT SIDE LOAD APPS AT ANY COST even if its Pokemon Go

That's another good argument, but now Pokemon Go is on the official store, so no need of downloading it elsewhere.

Not where I live
