There are many ways an Android phone, like the ones in the Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel series, can get a virus. It’s possible for your phone to become infected when you use a public charging station, as you never know who is on the other end of the cable. Keep an eye out for pop-ups asking you to trust a device or start a USB transfer.

Third-party app stores, mobile device management (MDM) apps and accounts, and links on sketchy websites can also give your Android a virus.

There are several signs your Android may have a virus. There could be an app you didn’t install. If you find one, delete it immediately.

Your Android might die fast, get very hot, or use more data than normal. Just keep in mind these could all be signs of a software problem.

People often mistake spam for a virus. If you see a pop-up on your Android saying something like “You Have A Virus”, your Android doesn’t actually have a virus. It’s a spam message designed to scare you into giving up your personal information. If you see a message like this in an app or web browser, it’s a good idea to clear your web browser’s history and website data.

One of the most common spam tactics these days is calendar spam. Calendar spam is an unsolicited message that appears in your Google or Samsung calendar as an event invitation. Those events can include harmful links, where a scammer tries to steal your personal information or infect your Android with malware.

To avoid Android viruses and keep your data safe, keep your phone up to date and regularly save backups. Turning on two-factor authentication will give your phone an extra layer of protection, too.

The surefire way to remove an Android virus is to factory reset your phone. This erases everything on your Android and restores it to factory defaults. Just make sure you have a backup first!

Great video. I got a message about my package being delayed because of a bad address. Without thinking I clicked on it and was about to put in my address when I thought I should check it out. Thankfully I didn't go any further but was still worried they may have installed malware or something. Thanks, I feel much better. I deleted everything that I didn't recognize. I don't really use my phone for business. I am elderly and still use my computer mostly. I do use my phone when I am traveling. I followed your video the best that I could.

This is brilliant and absolutely invaluable. You explained things very clearly and in 'normal speed' so even a non-tech peep like me can understand it! Thank you both very much.

10:06 this is why my phone was so slow. Every single time i would use google, i didnt know it would make a tab that i have to delete since im on a phone not a computer. And when i opened the tabs, there were billions of tabs that i never closed.

I have been getting so many scary pop-ups saying I have 15 viruses, my phone has been hacked etc., (as at 9:31). So much so I have not been able to use the phone’s internet. But now that I have followed this video, I think they are all gone!
Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

What you are talking about is so complicated (and it's not your fault but it is due to the chaos in the internet) that one must become an IT specialist besides the basic profession if one wants to be protected from spams and viruses on the smartphone...

Can I ask a question. What is SVC Agent on my Android? I heard it might be a malware or spyware. If it is, how do I remove it.

crazy that his full charge would last about 4 days and 4 hours

Thanks for all this information.
Is Firefox a good browser to install on my Android phone ?

Does the android phone get infected without installing the software that is suspected of being a virus? (I mean if only the file is downloaded without installing it)? In general, any file with any extension can infect the mobile phone without installing it?
