Paano Mapeprevent Ang Malware?​

The best remedy is prevention. Stay safe from malware by following this guidance:
  • Don’t download apps from third-party app stores
  • Read the reviews before downloading apps
  • Uncheck the “Install from Unknown Sources” option on Android
  • Install OS updates as soon as they are available to ensure important security patches are in place
  • Check app permissions before installing an app in case it is asking to access something it doesn’t need to, like camera access for a calendar app for example
No matter how hard you try to educate yourself and your team, it’s inevitable that some attempts will slip through the net. To stay ahead of the attacker it’s imperative to have a security solution in place which is able to intercept traffic to phishing sites, stopping the threat at its source.

yung sakin naman nasa system update. di nawawala maka ilang format ko na phone ko bumabalik pa din.
-may naiinstall na apps, kahit off "unknown sources" settings. di ko alam kung saan galing, parang nagging system app sya. kadalasan "phone and storage" permission nya.
-ina-unistall ko lang at clear data. usually, same sa nabangit sa taas mga symptoms at indication. punta kaagad ako sa settings check ko yung "apps" kung may bago o sa auto start management sa security settings wala kasi ko ina allow na mag auto start.
-nakikita kung sulosyun is i root at i uninstall yung "system update" na app.
tama ba? low end lang phone ko, di na din naman to magkakaroon ng update.
