In our daily life smartphones play a very important role. In fact they play more than one role. Now a days all our social network, chats, documents and most importantly our banking information are inside our smartphone. It is very important to safeguard your privacy by protecting your smartphone from malware attacking.

In the recent news we have heard that a new malware is affecting millions of Android devices. These type of malware target on smartphones and starts displaying random ads and you will not be able to take control over it. Since you can see, you may click on it accidentally. This will make malware creators/hackers to generate revenue. According to some reports this affected users of Android versions between 2.0 and 4.4

So these are some tips to avoid malware attacking:

1. Install apps by trusted developer
Source of malware can be anything/anywhere depending on what you do. So don't install any app developed by unknown or whom you do not trust.

2. Avoid installing external .apk
There are several .apk  files available for easy installations and for some tricks. Fortunately those apps are not allowed on Play Store. It is a good feature of Android platform but again, install it at your own risk. Don't install if you don't trust.

3.  Install from Play Store
There are number of app stores are available for Android app downloading. Never use those unless it is very necessary. It is recommended that you always install apps from Play Store only.

 4. Do not install useless apps
There are so many fake and useless apps are available on Play Store which carries catchy names. For example: WiFi hacking apps, brightest flashlight (Flashlight brightness will never increase by installing an app. Many apps like this are flooded in Play Store.), body scanners and some app locks etc.

I think this will help you to protect your privacy and phone.
