What should I do if I get a virus in my mobile phone?

Go to phone settings and select "Backup and Reset". However, it is still recommended to eradicate all applications (because viruses most likely originate from applications). If it is determined that the poisoning is caused by clicking on a toxic link by mistake, you can try not to clean the application.

Mobile phone virus is an infectious and destructive mobile phone program, which can be killed by anti-virus software or uninstalled manually. Mobile phone viruses can be spread by sending SMS, MMS, email, browsing websites, downloading ringtones and using Bluetooth transmission.

It will cause users' cell phones to crash, shut down, delete personal data, send spam, reveal personal information, automatically make calls, send short (colored) letters, etc. , even damage the hardware such as SIM card and chip, resulting in the phone can not be used normally.

At that time, the mobile phone company Movistar received a large number of harassing text messages called "Timofonica" sent by computers. The virus sends spam messages such as swearing to users in the mobile system of Telefonica, a Spanish telecommunications company. In fact, this virus can only be counted as a text message bomb at best.

Mobile phone appearance time:

The real mobile phone virus didn't appear until June 2004, that is, the "Cabir" worm virus copied by Nokia s60 series mobile phones, and then kept looking for mobile phones with Bluetooth installed.

After that, the mobile phone virus began to spread. Mobile phone viruses are inspired and influenced by PC viruses, and there are also so-called mixed attacks. A survey conducted by McAfee, an IT security vendor, in 2006 showed that the number of mobile phone users attacked by mobile phone virus reached about 83%, which was five times higher than that in 2003.
