Moreover, a mobile device is much more private and “on the move” all the time, which means unsecured network connections, pop-up notifications, we open without thinking, links from social networks and so on.

So even when there’s no technical threat to your iPhone device, every one of us can fall victim to this kind of fraud. And now that all of our banking and passwords are on our iPhones, the damages can be dramatic. Antivirus will detect the suspicious and potentially dangerous software and won’t let you use it before any harm is made. Safe to say that the main reason for security software is to help you avoid your own mistakes: installing apps and opening files that are not what they appear to be. It was true once, but many years that Apple smartphones are booming the market, the bad guys were also upgrading their skills.īusiness Insider and Fortune both claimed that Apple devices are now less secure than they once were and that there is some malware that can completely freeze Apple devices, including iPhones and iPads. Especially if it’s an iPhone because it’s safe and secure on its own, right? Or is it? You probably might think that, unlike desktop computers, smartphones don’t need any antivirus software.

Most of us even have at least some level of protection for PC or Mac computers installed, but when it comes to smartphones, people are surprisingly more careless, even clueless. Most of us are well-informed about the need to secure our computers with some kind of antivirus system, in order to protect it from a data breach, infectious files, even a steal.
