Hi there,
Could you let us know which smart phone you have (make, not necessarily model) and which OS it is running.

If you're using an android phone, there are a few antivirus apps available, such as the free trend micro and avast apps.

Hi,
This sounds like more than one.Originally Posted by williamzach221
Multiple antivirus software is not a good idea.
Which ones?
I'm afraid we need more information before being able to answer this.
I am not sure what you mean by this.
What does "automatically browsing" mean?
Could you be a little more specific.
Also, could you let us know which smart phone you have (make, not necessarily model) and which OS it is running.

Yes, its windows phone 7. In this i am using internet in opera browser.
Now my phone was hanging at the time of doing internet.
There are antiviruses for smart phones so you should use one of them. Lumia is a fast phone and you shouldn't have much problem but you may need to check if you also have other programs running that take all the memory and if our connection is fast enough.

The AVG Security Suite seems to be the main antivirus solution for the Windows Phone.

However, it seems to be the widely held consensus of opinion that there are no viruses for (non-jailbroken) Windows phone and that security software is useless.

By way of a disclaimer, I have an iPhone.
Is there anyone listening to this that has a Windows Phone who could advise the OP further?

I must be missing something. There is no Opera browser for WP7. Opera only provides a version for the old Windows Mobile, which is completely different from Windows Phone. And there are no Anti-virus software for WP7, (AVG is just some Safe browsing list like the one built into Firefox, course its not even available now anyways.) Even if there were malware, applications are in a sandbox on the phone, they cannot get root access, unlike on Android.
It is actually funny. Android is currently the only smartphone (that has any major market share) that has a REAL malware issue. And Android is Linux. Go figure. But that is the trade off with an unlocked OS. Anything can be done to it. Versus closed systems like the iPhone and Windows Phone.
And yes. I do own a Windows Phone.
me to agree with you my phone is with old windows version and which is completely different from present windows phone.
Android is only the current smart phone, Which has the best technology with it.

Wall + Head...yup...
However, The Nokia Lumia is a Windows Phone, not Windows Mobile. The Lumia line was introduced in 2011 well after WP7 was on the market.
Things are becoming even more confused now.
I feel lucky then that I never had a single issue after 1 year with my Android phone

Aye, it only really becomes a problem if you go outside of the Android Marketplace. And start hacking the phone with custom this and custom that. But that doesn't make it any less of an issue.I feel lucky then that I never had a single issue after 1 year with my Android phone
If you have an android, avast antivirus should do the job. If you are using iphone, you have nothing to worry about. iphones does not require any antivirus as it does not get infected with any virus and malware.
I'm sorry if this sounds harsh but that is just rubbish! It's like saying that you dont need an antivirus because you have a Mac.....
That kind of complacency and macarrogance (just made that word up!) will cost you dearly sometime. Mac's get virus', iPhones get virus' - just because it's rare doesnt mean it cant happen!
Use the phone as it's supposed to be used and download from a reputable source and you will be ok, as LE said in post #17, go outside of that and you are as vulnerable as the rest.

I started out with nothing... and still got most of it left!
Plus the fact, the OP has a Windows Phone.

I use the Marketplace but I also use other repositorios... and I do hack it... but I guess I investigate before I do something and, of course, I always do my backup copy before any major change
Having said that, a default user doesn't have a root access on Android, you need to unlock it specifically. So if you go with the regular updates, you should be fine... which doesn't mean that you can't get virus (in any smart phone). It is a case that there are not so many.

Actually nokia lumia has the internet explorer 9 & it's doesn't support opera browser.
If you have any problem then you can switch it to Nokia Xpress Browser its same like the opera browser.

This for me is where the iPhone shines in this department. I like how on the iPhone you don't need to worry about this sort of stuff
You always have to worry about these things, iPhone or not
