RecoveryHarden your browser in 5 minutes — non‑technical setup
Update your browser, enable phishing protection, and use a single reputable content blocker. Avoid stacking multiple blockers; it slows phones and breaks sites.
Spot common scam patterns — pop‑ups & fake alerts
Beware of pages that claim urgent infection, countdown timers, or forced redirects. Close the tab; don’t tap unknown buttons. When unsure, use a trusted scanner.
Control what apps can see — camera, mic, location
Grant permissions only while using the app. For weather or maps, prefer city‑level location. Deny persistent background access unless truly necessary.
