Keep following
in mind to keep cell phone viruses away:
Switch to Bluetooth hidden mode. If your phone
has Bluetooth capability, ensure that the Bluetooth capability
is switched to hidden or invisible mode unless you specifically
need it to be visible. This will help prevent other Bluetooth-enabled
devices from finding your phone (unless you grant them the necessary
permission) and will therefore help protect your phone from worms
that spread using the Bluetooth wireless technology.
As
one avoids downloading attachments received from strangers on
the PC. Likewise one should be very careful about opening unsolicited
files and text messages on the cell phones. (As in Bluetooth,
MMS attachments). Ensure the application or attachment comes from
a known source, and is wary of opening files that have unfamiliar
text attached to them, even if they come from someone you know.
New viruses are created every day, so it’s
important to have anti-virus software on your cell phone—if
it’s available for your model—and update it regularly.
