You should always follow any antivirus on your device. The manufacturer is selected independently based on your preferences. More than one antivirus is not recommended to be installed, as applications may start to face each other, which will cause problems and time. To install antivirus:
- go to Play Piak and enter the “antivirus” search line,
- choose the one you like best, in this case we will install Kaspersky,
- after installation, open the application,
- click the “Check” button
- wait until the antivirus scans all the files on your device,
- if antivirus found unwanted files depending on the scan result – remove them immediately.
Rarely, but it happens that the antivirus did not find threats, although there are viruses on the phone. Then you should go to the second item and clean it with your own hands.
How to clean your phone from viruses – manually deleting applications.
- When the antivirus is powerless, wipe the recently downloaded widgets and apps on your phone with your own hands. To do this, access your phone settings by clicking on the tools in the tray.
- Scroll down the menu and locate the Manager Application tab.
- Remember which apps you recently installed and click on them, delete one after the other. To do this, click on the application and in the window that appears, select “Delete”.
- Confirm your intent
You need to do this with all the newly installed applications that the virus may have been involved with. In the future, be careful and try not to push advertising banners.
