Is there a threat from malware and viruses to my phone?

Malware and viruses are potential threats to any computer system, including mobile devices. To protect your mobile device from malware and viruses, you should follow these precautions:

• Always update the apps on your mobile device to ensure that any bugs have been fixed.
• Use only well-known app stores to download new apps.
• Avoid "jailbreaking" or "rooting" your mobile device, which manipulates your device’s operating system and may make it more vulnerable to malware and viruses.
