No anti-virus software is available after the infected mobile phone operation.

At the beginning of last month, the "Caribe" virus that many mobile phone users heard turned out to be in Shanghai. After Mr. Zhang's Nokia mobile phone was infected with the virus, the battery usage time was significantly shortened. The Morning Post reported this in 13th day of last month. Recently, this infected mobile phone has been repaired. However, in subsequent investigations, I found that the lack of anti-virus software for mobile phone viruses on the market still threatens mobile phone users.

Poisoned mobile phone repair

After Mr. Zhang contacted the Morning Post, the author reflected the situation to the Nokia customer service department. After recording Mr Zhang's mobile phone situation, the staff said they would report it to the relevant departments of the company. A few days ago, Mr. Zhang received a reply from Nokia and agreed to fix his poisoned mobile phone. I learned from the service personnel of the Shanghai customer service center that they first formatted Mr. Zhang's mobile phone and emptied the entire system and then upgraded it, thus, Mr. Zhang's mobile phone was "brought back to life", and the repair process was less than one hour.

The maintenance personnel warned that because traditional computer anti-virus software cannot clear the mobile phone virus, smartphone users with such operating systems should disable the mobile phone Bluetooth function, when using a bluetooth device, set its properties to "hidden" to prevent viruses from searching. Do not use the "pairing" function whenever possible. If you must use it, ensure that all pairing devices are set to "Unverified" and do not run any programs with unknown sources.

High-end mobile phones are prone to viruses

The Morning Post reported the occurrence of the "Caribe" mobile phone virus in China in 13th day of last month. In just one month, mobile phone users in other provinces also discovered the virus. Some mobile phones are seriously damaged. As soon as a Mr. Guo's mobile phone in Xi'an is turned on, the battery will be exhausted. The reason for the rapid spread of the virus has become a curse. In addition to the high speed of virus transmission, there is no effective and convenient processing means in the market, which is also an important reason.

As the New Year approaches, many people choose to send text messages to express their blessings, but at the same time, this brings the risk of virus infection and spread to themselves and other people's mobile phones. I learned from the National Computer Virus emergency response center that the end of the year will be a "high-risk period" for mobile phone virus attacks, and most mobile phone viruses "prefer" high-end users, high-performance mobile phones and Bluetooth mobile phones are the main targets of mobile phone virus attacks. Because mobile phone viruses are usually run on high-end smartphones with system operating platforms, and such mobile phones have Bluetooth functions, the risk of viruses is high.

No Mobile Anti-Virus products in the market

Anti-virus software is installed on computers, but anti-virus products are still blank in the market for the increasing number of mobile phone viruses.

Yesterday, I learned from rising, a company specializing in anti-virus software, that although the company has been paying attention to mobile phone viruses for many years and has conducted relevant research, so far it has not released a series of products such as mobile anti-virus software. This situation is common in antivirus software companies. According to industry insiders, many anti-virus software companies have adopted a wait-and-see attitude due to the fact that the number of mobile phone users infected with viruses is relatively small.

Experts remind mobile phone users that to avoid virus infection, try to use the Bluetooth function of their mobile phones as little as possible. They should delete text messages and files that are not clear to their users, and do not customize or download ringtones or other files from informal websites.
