While 99% of home computer users have antivirus protection, the percentage for cell phones and tablets is many times lower. And it is on this point that hackers are increasingly relying. This is because without antivirus, the average user has little chance of finding out that his or her device is infected.
There are several types of special programs that can detect all uninvited attackers or discover so-called keyloggers in the operating system. A keylogger is software that captures the keystrokes of individual keys, which makes it possible to find out the user\’s password. For this reason, it is recommended to equip yourself with a good antivirus.
