Malware can infect your device or even crash it. There are many different malware variations. In fact, every minute, a new malware variation is being created and discovered.
Sometimes, malware’s presence is almost unnoticeable. But for others, it can be downright disastrous. You may have a malware infection but not notice until you’ve lost important files, had a few viruses attack your system, or, even worse, experienced identity theft.
Regardless of its infection method, all malware entities have one goal: to exploit a device in such a way that benefits the creators.
Here are some tips that will protect your device from future malware attacks. These are the most basic preventative measures anyone with a computer or mobile phone should take to keep malicious software at bay.
• Install anti-virus software to remove detected malware right away
