 How to know if your phone has virus and how to remove it??

These 8 signs are an indication that your phone may have a virus:

1. Excessive data usage: A compromised phone may have a virus that’s running in the background, undetected, which may significantly increase overall data usage.
2. Apps crashing: If the software on your phone is compromised, it can cause apps to repeatedly crash. There can be a number of reasons apps will crash, so double check your storage isn’t full and you don’t have too many apps running at once before assuming the worst.
3. Pop-ups: While some pop-ups are a normal function of advertising while browsing the web, if your browser is closed and you’re experiencing increased pop-ups you may be experiencing adware, a type of malware that’s goal is data-mining.
4. Increased battery drain: If a virus, like malware, is running in the background during normal cell use, you may experience an inexplicably quick drain on your battery with the increased use of your phone’s RAM.
5. Unrecognizable apps: When you see apps that were mysteriously downloaded, they may be a malicious form of malware. Trojan horses can also attach themselves to legitimate applications and cause further damage.
6. Overheating: Malware can consume RAM and CPU quickly, which can cause your phone to overheat. While it can be normal for your phone to occasionally overheat, this chronic issue could also be a signal that there’s something more dangerous afoot.
7. Spam texts: A common form of malware that can be found on a cell phone will gather sensitive data and attempt to also infect your contacts by sending texts with dangerous links and attachments.

Android devices are particularly vulnerable to malware attacks. Antivirus software is the most fail safe way to protect your Android from viruses. To remove a virus from an Android, first reboot the device in safe mode.

Step 1: Clear the cache. Select apps and notifications, next find chrome. Go to its storage and select clear cache.

Step 2: Boot the device in safe mode. Press and hold the power button.

Step 3: Find the suspicious app. Open settings. Select apps. Manually review applications installed to find any suspicious downloads. Once identified, open the app information and uninstall.When the dialogue box appears, choose reboot to safe mode.

             Step 4: Enable play protect. While antivirus is the most secure way to protect your Android against malware, Play Protect is a built in software that can be useful as a secondary protection measure. To enable, choose the play store app. Open the menu in the upper left corner. Turn on the option to scan your device for security threats.

WHY DO MOST PEOPLE YOU LINUX FOR H#CKING?

1. Linux is open Source and any one can use 3/5 for any type of work, not only for h*cking.

2. Most of the linux Distros are free of cost. One of the most common linux distro is UBUNTU, followed by mint, debian and others.

3. You can edit, copy, distribute various aspects of a linux based OS without violating any copyright law or term and condition. This the reason I think, H*ckers use linux, because they can easily develop softwares used for hacking and pen-testing.

4. Linux OS like kali linux, parrot, backtrack are especially made for pentesting and checking security loopholes, often used for h*cking also.

5. They are made and maintained by developer forums, and are always available to fix bugs, you just need to put your problem in the forum and your problem will be discussed by thousands of developers.

6. They are secure and virus free, no antivirus needed.

7.Easy to use. There is a widespread myth, that linux is only for programmers and h*ckers, which i believe to be wrong, I have been using it for years and I am not a veteran programmer or h*cker and I found it more convenient and user-friendly than windows.

               Android is a mobile multitasking operating system used in smartphones, tablets, readers, consoles, TVs, and even domestic robots. The OS was developed by Android Inc. basing on Linux and was later purchased and popularised by Google. The appearance of Android OS in 2008 made a splash, and it immediately became a leader in the market of smart devices. Thanks to this operating system, modern smartphones and tablets can be considered pocket mini-computers.

Android is a very flexible and friendly system with less than one hour enough for an initial acquaintance. Any user can easily configure OS settings as there is a large number of available relevant applications. You can change anything beyond recognition: if you don’t like the appearance, icons, or a ringtone, just go to Google Play Store, download a relevant application, and quickly configure everything to your liking.

Android mobile app development process

Developing an Android application isn’t just about creating it and adding it to Google Play Store. The process requires careful planning, research, and a clear focus. For your application to be successful, you must follow a number of steps correctly during its development. Typically, the entire cycle consists of five stages:

1. Planning. Before starting development, it is important to define the target audience, purposes, and required functions of your Android application. It is also necessary to conduct comprehensive market research to ensure your application is competitive. At this stage, the ToR for the development of a mobile app are being prepared.
2. Design. At this stage, the appearance (a mockup and user interface) is created. After approval, a designer starts working with the mockup. The designer prepares the final look that users will see on their Android devices.
3. Development. Programmers create an Android application based on the design approved at the design stage.
4. Testing. Once development is complete, the application must be tested. QA engineers must check it thoroughly to make sure the application functions in a correct way without any errors.
5. Launch and maintenance. When testers have checked the application, you can safely release it to the market, namely, upload it to Google Play. However, after successfully adding to the store, your work has not come to an end. Like any software, the application has to be maintained. You must technically support it, improve its functionality, and add new features.

What the Android app development phase includes

Development is translating the vision of your project into life. At this stage, the Android development team will work on three main parts of the project at once: the back end, API, and front end.

WAYS TO HACK PROOF YOUR PHONE

 

Ways to hack proof your phone:

Be careful of what you install:

When you install a smartphone app, you may be asked to grant it various permissions, including the ability to read your files, access your camera or listen in to your microphone. There are legitimate uses for these capabilities, but they’re potentially open to abuse: think before you approve the request.

 Review what’s already on your phone:

Even if the apps on your phone seemed simple and safe when you installed them, subsequent updates could have turned them into something more sinister. Take two minutes to review all the apps on your smartphone, and see which permissions they’re using: on iOS, you’ll find lots of relevant information under Settings > Privacy.

  Be prepared to track and lock your phone:

Plan ahead, so even if your phone is stolen, you know your data is safe. One option is to set your phone to automatically erase itself after a certain number of incorrect attempts to enter the passcode.

Don’t leave online services unlocked:

Auto-login is a very convenient feature, especially since a virtual keyboard can make typing passwords a chore. It’s also a huge liability: an intruder simply needs to open your browser to gain access to all your online accounts.

Ideally, therefore, you shouldn’t use auto-login features at all. If you must, use a password manager app that requires you to regularly re-enter a master password.

Beware with open wifi:

We all know there’s a risk involved in using an open wireless network.

 But you may not realise how severe it is: anyone in the vicinity can snoop on what you’re doing online. This sort of attack demands specialist software and skills, so it’s unlikely to be a hazard in your local cafe, but it’s not a danger that can be ignored.

Lock individual apps:

On Android, as a second line of defence, you can lock individual apps, so even if someone can get past your lockscreen, they can’t open your email or banking app without a second password. This capability isn’t built into the OS, but there are plenty of free apps that provide it, such as AVG AntiVirus Free.
