With the introduction of smartphones having Android operating system, users can now download their favorite applications in seconds. Every smartphone user can instantly connect with their loved ones using internet calling or video conferencing options provided with a majority of Android devices. Smartphones have made it extremely easy to connect with your loved ones from any part of the world or look for information on-the-go.

Some of the techniques used by cybercriminals to hack your device include the use of fake advertisements, Trojan horse or malware attacks.

What assistance can McAfee Antivirus Support offer to me for keeping my android device secured?
The technical experts at the McAfee Customer Support have come up with some easy-to-follow tips on how to keep your android device secured. Kindly follow the instructions below;
1. Perform a safety check
Prior to installing a new application, always perform a security check and read the reviews of the application to ensure its safety. The McAfee Support recommends asking to be aware of any free applications sent to you via email link or text message.
2. Always read the application permission
We realize that going through the application permission can be a boring task, but it is worth the patience. The technical experts at the McAfee Antivirus Customer Support recommends to ensure that the application does not invade your privacy by looking for information such as contacts and camera. Always pay attention to any paid service or special text messages that the application requires before agreeing to install it.
3. Limit your installation options
We at the McAfee Support recommend that you choose the official Google Play store or an official store to install applications on your mobile device. One of the ways to avoid unsafe applications is ensuring that the “install from unknown sources” option in your smartphone remains inactive. It will help prevent installing applications from any unauthorized application store.
4. Restrict your application usage
Always install applications that you use on a regular basis and if you no longer need the application then uninstall it to avoid any access to your personal data. It will help to save not only money but also keep your android device safe. Also, the McAfee Antivirus Customer Support recommends that you limit an applications access to your personal information.
5. Install a mobile security software
Our technical veterans at the McAfee Customer Support recommend that you install a reliable and trusted mobile security software. This will help to keep your android device secured against virus, malware and other online threats.
