If your device has shown a "Virus Detected" alert, follow these steps to address the issue:

  1. Open the Phone Manager App: This app is typically pre-installed on your device. Find and tap its icon on your home screen or app drawer.
  2. Access Settings: Look for the settings icon once the Phone Manager App is open. This is usually represented by a gear icon located at the top right corner of the app. Tap on this icon to enter the settings menu.
  3. Update Virus Database Settings: In the settings menu, scroll to find the option "Update Virus Database." Once found, tap on it and change the setting to "Wi-Fi and Mobile Data." This will allow your device to update its virus database using any available network, ensuring that it can download the latest updates needed to identify and handle threats.

By enabling updates over both Wi-Fi and mobile data, your device will stay up-to-date with the latest antivirus definitions, helping to protect against new viruses and malware. If the alert persists after taking these steps, consider running a full antivirus scan and contacting your device's customer support for further assistance.
