A virus can enter the phone in various ways, for example downloading files from suspicious links or unknown senders. The expert explains that such links can be seen or hidden in letter texts, sms messages or images. When a user clicks these links, the infected file starts downloading automatically. Another way of infection is unverified games or other content from unknown developers.

Using public Wi-Fi can also be dangerous because such networks are often unsafe and are at risk of spreading viruses. The expert warns that it is especially important to be careful when entering personal information, such as phone numbers, when connecting to public networks.

Pop-ups and banners on websites can also be a source of viruses. They can attract attention or scare the user into following the link provided by the scammers.

The good news is that it is rare to find infected apps on the App Store and Google Play, as they are reviewed before they are released.

The surest way to prevent your phone from getting a virus is to be careful and considerate and follow basic safety rules.
