That’s where antivirus software comes in continuously scanning for malware, spyware, ransomware, and adware to defend against any immediate threats.Īntivirus apps will protect your devices from malicious cyber threats swiping your personal information, ransomware holding your data hostage, and sneaky phishing attempts - all without impacting your devices’ performance.

We've seen 3 Android apps stealing banking info via screen recording, 4 malicious Android apps secretly stealing your private information, and more. Yet, we frequently hear stories of mass cyberattacks affecting millions of customers. How could malicious code slip through the cracks of the layers of security Apple’s Privacy Platform (opens in new tab) offers? Who would dare attempt a ransomware attack with the four billion devices Google protects with the “world’s most advanced security?”

Stepping into the digital world these days appears to be a carefree experience.
