The number of applications increases on the phones, number of bugs also comes out when we start using them. These bugs can be rectified when given to the service centres where they will update the version of the software which will fix the bugs. But how about viruses in the mobile phone? as we might very well know what virus will do in our computers, but in a mobile phone when a virus comes in it permanently burn out your SIM card, delete your address book, randomly send pictures from your phone’s camera to people in your address book, make an expensive overseas phone call, use your phone to send SMS or MMS spam, finally makes the phone not in a usable condition.

These types of viruses can be avoided by installing antivirus software for the phone. Earlier antivirus software’s were used only for the computers. But now they are available for mobile phones too. These viruses come to our phone only because of un-authorized application that is being installed, also because of data transfers through Bluetooth. Here I would like to refer some of the antivirus software’s that are available for your mobile phones.
