How to Protect Your Account from Malicious Software (Malware)

What is malware?


Malware refers to unwanted software that infiltrates your device, whether it’s a computer or phone, without your explicit permission. Typically engineered by malicious entities, malware is crafted to extract sensitive information such as login details and personal data. It often disguises itself as a seemingly harmless application, a popular app available on an app store, or even as a browser extension.

 

To eradicate any potential malware that may have infiltrated your system, consider the following steps:
    1. Install and conduct a thorough scan of your devices using an up-to-date independent antivirus scanner.
    2. Remove any untrusted extensions or add-ons from your web browser.
    3. Reset your browser settings to ensure a clean slate.
    4. Keep your operating system up to date with the latest security patches.
