How important it is to check your PC for viruses
The greatest number of threats to computer users is waiting on the Internet when we go to sites, open advertising banners or click on additional dialog boxes, download files and archives. You never know when a malicious object will appear on your computer, especially if antivirus protection or VPN is not active on your device.
To date, among the dangers of the Internet that threaten system disruption or hacking by hackers, the following are highlighted:
- Trojan viruses;
- loading objects;

If you surf the Internet without downloading any files, you are still at great risk, a high probability of a security breach due to:
- stealing data while it is being transmitted over the network;
- blockades and restrictions in your country or region;
- spammers trying to disorient and compromise you.

The security of the site you visit is an important factor for every user who surfs the Internet. But how do you make sure that the web resource you need to go to and get the targeted information is free of viruses and poses no threat?

How to protect your phone from viruses - security measures
Smartphones are gaining in popularity and superiority over desktop PCs. It is especially convenient to connect to Wi-Fi in a sports club, cafe, mall and any other public place, if you need to urgently find important information or communicate in social networks. However, communication takes place through an unsecured tunnel and unauthorized persons can easily intercept your data, which dramatically undermines your privacy and data security.
When you connect to the VPN, a secure connection tunnel is generated so that data can be transferred secretly from unauthorized parties. All files will be secure and there will be no risk of hacking or theft.

How to check your phone for viruses through your computer
Although smartphones are technologically advanced and superior to computers, they still remain vulnerable to viruses and dangerous objects that can easily penetrate the system from the network. Spyware and Trojans can discreetly read user data and pass it on to hackers for illegal activities. In particular, malicious objects are aimed at stealing passwords, access codes, payment cards and email addresses. An infected device works slower and traffic increases significantly.
The virus scanner from Planet VPN allows to carry out fast and qualitative check - just connect your smartphone to your PC:
create a connection between PC and smartphone via USB cable and select MTP/accumulation mode through the settings menu;
Copy the file from your phone to your computer and scan it on the scan page.
