Lock your device. Whether you use a password, PIN or pattern, set a screen lock on your device to add one more layer of protection if your phone is lost or stolen.
Understand how malware works. Be aware of the different ways that the malware passes into the different mobile phone operating systems. Do not open emails or text messages that look questionable. Limit the apps that you choose to download.
Do not open messages from unknown senders. Do not click on links, open attachments or reply to messages that are from a network or email that is not secure or trustworthy and make sure to completely delete the message from your inbox.
Update your software. It is important to make sure that the applications are up to date so that they can better protect the phone. Install anti-virus software to help protect your phone. Run a full virus scan immediately on your phone if you click on any questionable links.
