The FBI warns what malware (software used or created to disrupt computer operation) could steal private information from your android phone.
The two malware items are Loozfon and FinFisher. Loozfon uses alternative ways to lure victims and their purpose is to steal information from your phone like address book and phone numbers. FinFisher can take control of your phone. When the virus is installed your mobile can be remotely controlled and watched.
The best way to protect your phone and your private information is to know how to use your phone and how to use an antivirus program.From the Google play store you can find antivirus programs that can protect you phone.
The top rated antivirus for Android phones are AVG, CREATIVE APPS, AVAST SOFTWARE… (There are more than 10 pages with antivirus programs in Google play) but those are the antivirus programs that I have used and have tested on my phone and tablet.
As a Windows user AVG antivirus helps me to have a clean pc. Also you can find it for your Android phone and it works the same as on your pc. There is a free version of AVG and a paid one (7,62 €). AVG is rated with 4.5 stars
The first antivirus on my smart phone was antivirus free from creative apps, it’s a very fast and light software and also it gets 4.5 stars.
With 4.7 stars AVAST is the best top rated android antivirus with the best malware protection. It’s easy to use and it’s free.
