Software exchange-exercise caution when downloading software

Nowadays, a wide range of mobile phone software services bring great pleasure to smartphone users. Mobile phone reading, playing games, listening to music, watching videos, and searching on maps will be downloaded to your mobile phone as long as you like. However, as more and more third-party companies provide mobile phone software services, most mobile phones have limited efforts to verify the security of software, and some malware have begun to take advantage of it.

Users are inexplicably "charged"

Recently, it is reported that Mr. Yu has downloaded a disguised malware. In just one night, he was uninformed of the phone charges of more than one hundred yuan, which has been detected by relevant institutions, it is known that the software carries a virus. The virus does not show up as soon as the software is downloaded, but is lurking in the mobile phone, waiting for instructions to carry out illegal behavior at any time, the user is generally difficult to detect. The report also said that Mr. Yu's mobile phone was infected with a virus named "deduction trap", which is mainly targeted at Android and Saipan mobile phones, according to the detection platform of authoritative institutions, more than 0.2 million of mobile phone users have been recruited.

Ms. Yang also told reporters that she had been inexplicably charged. "When I received a text message containing a URL, I clicked it and opened a website with garbled code, when I felt something was wrong, I quickly closed it. Later I always received a strange text message from a strange number. I found that I had been detained for a dozen yuan without knowing it."

It can be seen that malware is typically hidden in the mobile phone without the user's knowledge, and then waiting for the server to act. Such a malicious software with a "heart" makes it difficult to prevent.

"This kind of malware hidden inside the mobile phone is hard for users to find out if they haven't started to charge fees or are just a small fee. Generally, these malware will send text messages or links to a designated deduction website to order various types of paid mobile phone services for users ." Mobile phone security experts of Zhengzhou Unicom told reporters that, under normal circumstances, when users subscribe to the mobile phone service, the operator will send a notification of fee deduction or a confirmation text message, however, malicious fee deduction software often blocks these text messages, allowing users to get on the "thief ship" without knowing it ".

When downloading software, you must select a relatively secure and trusted software marketplace, and install regular anti-virus software on your mobile phone to regularly clean your mobile phone. Users who have been infected with viruses can also use anti-virus software to clean up the virus, or go to a professional mobile anti-virus agency to scan and kill viruses. When you receive a text message from a link with a strange website, be cautious. Do not rush to open the website to avoid being hooked.
