8 July 2019 / boosh_johnbaker /
5G is is finally here and history shows us that every 10 years mobile telecommunications evolve to the next generation. 5G is the successor to 4G, the current standard broadband connection. 5G is able to send more information faster and able to respond quickly to commands, at a rate we’ve never seen before.

The idea of installing antivirus software on your phone might seem like overkill and a little over the top, but there are plenty of good reasons to consider doing this.

This means Android users face a greater risk than those with iPhones or Windows Phones, who can install apps that have been properly pre-vetted for safety. Every user is potentially at risk from malware (software
