Viruses and their effect on privacy on mobile phones

Hello Roger! Like computers, mobile phones can also be affected by malware. A mobile virus is malicious software that targets mobile phones or wireless devices. It causes the collapse of the system or loss and leakage of personal information. It is also called Ciber-virus. To block malware many anti viruses has been used now a day. It actually blocks the effect of virus on your device. Protect your important information from hacker. Some viruses are not as harmful they only any information stored on phones it infects, or send out fake messages purporting to be from the phone's owner. So it is important to protect your cell phones.
