What can I do if my mobile device gets stolen?

With McAfee’s anti-theft protection, you can turn on a remote alarm that notifies you when someone is trying to steal your phone. In case your phone gets stolen, it can also locate it on a map and secure your data. You will receive an email containing the details of the intruder and the device location.

FAQs

These answers might help.

Can mobile devices get viruses?

Yes. Although less common, Android and iOS devices can still get viruses despite their built-in phone security. Threats like viruses and malware can enter through external sources, such as third-party applications, malicious websites, and iMessage links.

Does my mobile device need antivirus protection?

Yes. A security app will give you layers of protection against viruses and malware. Paired with built-in OS-level protection and Secure VPN, it will easily allow you to detect and avoid threats as you manage your digital life.

How do I protect my phone from getting infected?

Aside from downloading a reliable antivirus app, there are preventive measures that can also help you protect your phone against external threats. Here are some best practices to keep in mind:

Practice safe browsing and shopping habits
Keep your passwords secure
Avoid visiting malicious websites
Avoid downloading unlicensed third-party apps
Back up your data
Keep your operating system and antivirus software up-to-date
Use public WiFi with caution

What are the common signs that my phone has a virus?

Mobile malware and viruses can affect the performance of the device and its stored applications. The symptoms of an infected phone can easily be detected by observing its behavior. Here are easy ways to tell if your phone caught a virus.

Does a free antivirus subscription offer adequate protection?

A free antivirus app can offer some degree of phone protection against malware. However, as cybercriminals are constantly evolving, our Standard and Plus plan can deliver more holistic protection, giving you advanced features such as content back up, 24/7 support, and VPN for your mobile devices.

How do I download McAfee Mobile Security?

Android users can download the McAfee Mobile Security app from the Google Play store, while Apple users can get it from the App store. Get started by installing the app and following the on-screen instructions.

Does McAfee Mobile Security offer the same level of security for Apple and Android devices?

To combat threats specific to each OS, our mobile security app has dedicated and separate features that work best with Android and Apple.
