Viruses are classified as spyware, ransomware, worms, tarpon, etc
Spyware
This Malware usually collects data from your Mobile/PC and transmits it to Hacker or any other Program that Triggers it. So here they only can collect your data or information from your device without knowing you. Ex: Camera access, SMS, notifications, Gallery/Media stuff and location, mobile status like charging and apps that you installed, etc.
Ransomware
Ransomware is like software that prevents restricts or limits you to not using your phone/PC. EX: Recently many Hackers have tried to spread some different kinds of modification of ransomware to Hospitals Police stations and other business computers. So they can lock the device and offer the victims to pay some money to release their computer. So they blindly pay to restore their valuable data. so it’s very dangerous
Worms
This is a very clever virus. like artificial intelligence. If our phone or PC is infected by these worms then that virus itself spreads in our device and they install apps and send data also it consumes so much memory and RAM and also it makes the device run and leads to the head of your device. So it can cause very server damage to your phone and it only works when the internet connection is on. So don’t blindly allow internet communications to all apps or programs
Trojans
Android/PC Trajons Viruses can install additional malware, deactivate other apps or exes, record your data, or lock up your phone for a certain period just like ransomware and many harmful stuff can be done. so for me, it’s like a king of viruses.
How You Can Identify Your Phone/PC infected with the virus:
View your downloaded apps:
If any apps don’t have icons or are suspicious immediately uninstall them.
only download Any media or Mod apps from trusted sites.
Prevent apps from being device administrators:
Never let any third-party apps access administrators’ Permission.
Only allow apps that are trusted like Find my kids, Find my device (Google app), BlockerX (Porn blocker), SocialX, YourHour, etc…
It’s Up to you to trust or not.
if you see any apps that have access and they suspicious then deactivate them and uninstall them.
Heating/ Battery drain:
So they run in the background and mostly when wifi/data is on.
Check your device’s RAM/battery usage in settings and then try to check them and uninstall them.
Note: Never Click any links if you don’t trust them or blindly
Factory Data Reset:
If you still feel a virus in your device, then do a factory reset. and if possible, flash your stock ROM through pc.
In my case, if my device lags or heats or any virus stuff in it, I do stock Android firmware flash from pc. so it’s like a new phone after that.
