If you’re like most entrepreneurs, you’ll spend a lot of time on your mobile. Today’s smartphones are pretty much as useful as your computer in the office. You keep your calendar on it, your contacts list and of course, you can access your emails and the internet on there as well.
For some people in fact, the smartphone is more important than the files on the PC back in the office. And that is why internet security for your mobile is really important. It’s strange, but a lot of people haven’t seemed to have made the leap of thought to understand that mobile phones are just as likely to be attacked by viruses as a normal PC or laptop.
Going about getting mobile antivirus is really straightforward. As an example, Kaspersky mobile antivirus programmes cover just about any make of phone and operating system. You simply start by putting in your phone’s operating system (Android, Blackberry, etc) and then the phone model. It couldn’t be simpler.
All the major providers of antivirus software also offer free trial downloads- so you can try before you decide which one to buy.
Thinking specifically about mobile antivirus software, you need to choose a product that doesn’t require too much of your phone’s memory or battery power to operate. You also need to find a product that is easy to navigate on a smaller screen.
Once you’ve installed the antivirus software you can run a scan on new apps before downloading them. You can also secure items like photos and contact lists from being accessed. It’s important that any antivirus software is kept up to date. Check that any updates will be automatic; otherwise you’ll have to make a diary note to do this.
