Summary Now, mobile phone has been the necessity in our life. We chat with the other people, send files and finish office jobs with mobile phone. The problem of mobile phone security comes along with its function upgrade. Once there is the spyware on our mobile phone, the information will be disclosed. In this essay, we will tell you how to check whether there is spyware on our mobile phone.
Suspicious Apps. When you find some Apps that you’ve never seen before and they contain much harassment information, you should uninstall them immediately.
Being hot frequently. Mobile spyware must be on in the background. They consume the running memory and cause your phone to be hot frequently.

Inaccurate history record. Some pieces of spyware can track your data through the browsers.

Next, we will introduce two pieces of software and tell you how to lock and encrypt files in the computer.
