知名的保安科技公司 McAfee 為智能手機用家提供了五個貼士,以避免惡意程式或其他手機風險。一齊看看這五個貼士!
雖然現時涉及智能手機的惡意程式數量遠較電腦的為低,但針對智能手機的惡意程式是存在的。
For the moment, the amount of detected smartphone malware is relatively low compared to malware that targets desktop or laptop PCs; but being aware that it exists is the first step toward protecting yourself and your data.
清楚檢視 Apps 和開發人員的資料,並查看他們的評分。較好的做法是只安裝在 Market 上被廣泛選用的 Apps 或由朋友所推介的 Apps。
Research apps and their publishers thoroughly and check the ratings – better to install apps that are broadly used in the market or are recommended by your circle of friends and colleagues
較理想的做法是,只會從知名的 Apps 市場如:Android Market 安裝 Apps,避免從其他途徑下載安裝 Apps。
It is wise to purchase from a well-known reputable app store market, such as the Android Market. One way for Android users to avoid installation of non-market applications is to de-select the “Unknown sources” option in the Applications Settings menu on their device. If the option is not listed, it means your mobile service provider has already done this for the user.
當安裝 App 時,檢視程式所要求的權限是否恰當。若程式要求不合理的權限,就不要安裝。
When you install an app, you’ll see a list of permissions for services that are granted access to the hardware and software components on your device, like contacts, camera and location. If something in the permissions screen doesn’t look right, don’t install that app! For example, a game or alarm clock app probably shouldn’t need to access your contacts or have the ability to transmit that data from your device.
在手機安裝防毒軟件。
Install antivirus software on your phone. It is a good idea to install an antivirus program when you get a new mobile device before you add any other apps.
