How do you know if your android phone has a virus?

Answer 1

You can normally tell if you have a virus because your computer may be running slower then usually. However, your computer may also be running slower then usually if your system is updating or running a anti virus scan. Another reason you may think you have a virus is because programs may "Not Be Responding" if this is happening then you may have a virus. Viruses however generally go without being detected and can run in the background without you even knowing. This is why you should do regular virus scans. Hope this has helped.

Answer 2

There are no viruses that attack Mac OS X. There is a very small chance you may have unwittingly downloaded, installed (with your administration password) and activated some form of malware. Scanning your computer with the ClamXav software (See links below) will indicate if there is a real problem.

Answer 3

Usually your android device will begin to slow down and may shut down without warning. This is either a virus within the device of a problem with the device itself. I had this problem myself and had to replace my android phone. (Samsung Epic 4G)

Answer 4

If it's slowed down considerably. If you run your Anti Virus program and it tells you.

Answer 5

If your computer is running slower than usual than it might have a virus. Always make sure you have a virus scanner installed and scan your computer regularly.

Answer 6

I'm not sure how you know but you can always ask a person at the place were you got it from =)

Answer 7

I've never heard of an iPad getting a virus, mostly becuase it is very hard to get one, let along possible. If it is slow, try deleting some things you never/rarely use.
