How to defend against SMS virus?

1. Don't accept unfamiliar Bluetooth requests.

Among the transmission ways of mobile phone virus, Bluetooth transmission is one of the more ways. Therefore, if a strange device requests to connect to your mobile phone, it is best not to accept it. You should ask each other's identity and purpose first. Because the mobile phone virus will automatically search for devices within wireless range to spread the virus, if it is not clear whether the virus is actively connected or connected by users, it will directly verify the pairing. Even if anti-virus software is installed, it will be like buying a lock but never using it, which will eventually open the door for viruses.

2. Pay attention to the virus that may exist in the short message.

SMS is also an important way to infect mobile phone virus. Mobile phone users receive short messages with unknown content viruses from strange numbers, especially short messages with URL links. Don't click on them casually. Delete such short messages immediately after receiving them to avoid being infected with mobile phone virus.

3. Ensure the security of the download.

At present, there are many resources on the Internet that provide mobile phone downloads, but there are many viruses hidden in these resources, which requires users to ensure the safety and reliability of the download site and avoid downloading from personal websites as much as possible when downloading various resources with their mobile phones. But this can't guarantee the absolute security of downloading, because many big websites collect resources by uploading by netizens themselves, which inevitably creates opportunities for mobile phone viruses. So it is best to install antivirus software before downloading.

4. Turn off the garbled phone

When the other party calls, the original screen should show the calling number, but other words or strange symbols are displayed. In this case, the receiver should not answer or turn off the phone immediately. If you answer the call, you may be infected with a virus.
