An expert has named common programs that harm smartphones and their owners.
Valery Stepanov, Head of the Information Security Competence Center at T1 Integration, shared a comment on this topic.
In a conversation with the Prime portal, the specialist said that the most common malware viruses are Adware.
This software collects information about the user in order to show him advertisements in the background.
In addition, harm comes from Spyware programs. They gain access to geolocation and user actions without the user's knowledge.
Trojan viruses are widespread, which steal personal information and send paid SMS messages from the device owner's number.
You can find a malicious application on your own. To do this, go to the list of applications and sort by frequency of use.
Next, you should evaluate the activity in consuming Internet traffic and battery consumption.
If the indicator is high, then it is likely that we are talking about malware.
