If I have a virus infected device and after installing the Safehouse will it help to remove the virus?
Safehouse is not an antivirus nor a virus removal application. If the device is already infected by any virus or malicious file, then you need to follow the below steps:
- Install anti malware software for removing the harmful file.
- Uninstall the suspicious app. Find the app in Settings and uninstall or force close it. This may not completely remove the malware, but it could prevent further damage to your device, or from it transmitting the malware to other devices on your network.
- If still the device is not working properly then you need to reset the device to factory mode.
- Keep operating systems software, other applications updated with the latest versions from authorized online stores (like Play Store / App Store) and install the latest security patches.
- The most important is to install a robust mobile security app on your phone like the Safehouse Mobile application, it will block all the threats, malicious links, infected files and secure your network/device.
