Since the release of the Windows Phone platform, there have been endless debates about the need antivirus for Lumia. The developers unanimously proudly declare that the system is almost 110% secure.
How is this possible?
It's just that Windows Phone, unlike Android, has a closed system code, and applications run in a sandbox, therefore, they do not have access to system files. Plus, installation of third-party applications is prohibited. All these factors lead to the opinion that an antivirus for Nokia Lumia 630, Lumia 535, and any other Windows Phone is not very necessary.
However, the debate is becoming increasingly heated as users notice strange activity that can only be described as viral. Files are deleted or, conversely, multiplied exponentially. We tend to believe that if there is an operating system, then there will be a virus for it. Apparently, the developers of the popular AVG antivirus thought in the same spirit and, quickly making a fuss, released a version of the program for Windows Phone.
But it only checks media files - music and photos and, among other things, collects personal data about the owner of the phone, and then sends it to the company’s server.
Is there any benefit from such an antivirus and is it necessary? After all, Microsoft's protection is really good.
It’s another matter if you have unlocked your phone, which allows you to install third-party, non-market applications, bypassing the system, officially unverified and, possibly, stuffed with all sorts of Trojans. Then the need for an antivirus is obvious, but the problem is that there is still no official antivirus for Windows Phone.
However, you can still download antivirus for Nokia Lumia. There are two such tools, the aforementioned AVG Serucity Suite, which you can download for free, and Kaspersky Safe Browser, which you can download.
Whether you need an antivirus is up to you to decide, but if you install applications only from the trusted Windows Phone Store, then you can do without it, since the probability of getting a virus there is zero. Think before you unlock your Lumia, this will save your phone and your nerves.

Finding an antivirus designed for Windows Phone is not so easy: there is not a single similar application in the Windows Store. Do you even need an antivirus for the mobile version of Windows?
Owners of gadgets running Android OS are familiar with security programs firsthand, because the Google Play service is literally filled to capacity with them. However, in the case of Windows Phone, everything is different: there are no antiviruses for this operating system, because they are actually not needed. Unlike Android, the Windows Phone operating system (and its next version, Windows Mobile) was developed by the company with an eye to closedness: that is, the OS source code is protected from access by both the user and the programs being executed. Therefore, the virus will not be able to harm the system.
In addition, applications for this operating system can only be downloaded from the Windows Store, where they are verified before publication, so that the user, even if he wants, will not be able to install the program from an unverified source. In addition, the market share of Windows smartphones is very small, and therefore this segment is simply of little interest to virus writers.
However, there is still one loophole for malicious programs. There is a way to unlock a Windows Phone device called Chevron WP Labs, through which you can install applications from non-Windows Store on your smartphone. By using this method, the user can theoretically expose his device to a virus attack with all the attendant consequences. The conclusion suggests itself: there is no need to unlock your gadget, especially since it does not bring anything useful to the average person.
Viruses nowadays, unfortunately, have become a threat not only to desktop operating systems, but also to mobile devices. Malicious programs damage data, send SMS messages to paid numbers, steal logins and passwords for various services and PIN codes for bank cards. Therefore, if you still want to get maximum confidence in the security of your smartphone and install a reliable and free antivirus for Windows Phone, then you should pay attention to the following application:
Developer: Kaspersky Laboratory
Price: unknown
Internet browser for Windows Phone 8, 8.1 and Windows 10 Mobile. It allows smartphone users to access the Internet safely and securely, protect themselves from phishing websites, and protect themselves from inappropriate content.
Distribution model: Free
Also in the near future, an antivirus from AVAST Software is expected to be released for Windows 10 Mobile: according to company representatives, it will help protect users from theft of personal data and the imposition of advertising. However, specific release dates for the application are not reported, nor is there any real justification for installing it on devices with a mobile version of Windows.
A common situation that many people encounter after reinstalling Windows 7 or resetting a laptop with Windows 7 preinstalled to factory settings is the subsequent downloading and installation of all released Windows 7 updates, which can take a really long time, prevent you from turning off the computer when necessary and fray your nerves.
However, there is a way to download all updates (almost all) for Windows 7 once in the form of one file and install them all at once within half an hour - Convenience Rollup Update for Windows 7 SP1 from Microsoft. Learn how to use this feature step by step in this manual.
Preparing for installation
Before proceeding directly to installing all updates, go to the “Start” menu, right-click on “Computer” and select “Properties” in the context menu.
Make sure that you have Service Pack 1 (SP1) installed. If not, you need to install it separately. Also pay attention to the bitness of your system: 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64).
If SP1 is installed, go to https://support.microsoft.com/ru-ru/kb/3020369 and download the “April 2015 Servicing Stack Update for Windows 7 and Windows Sever 2008 R2” from there.
After installing the servicing stack update, you can begin installing all Windows 7 updates at once.
Download and install Windows 7 Convenience Rollup Update
The Windows 7 Convenience Rollup is available for download from the Microsoft Update Catalog site under number KB3125574: http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/Search.aspx?q=3125574
Here you should keep in mind that you can only open this page in a working form in Internet Explorer (and the latest versions, that is, if you open it in IE pre-installed in Windows 7, you will first be asked to update the browser, and then enable the add-on to work with the update catalog).
In case, for some reason, downloading from the update catalog is difficult, below are direct download links (in theory, the addresses may change - if it suddenly stops working, please notify me in the comments):
After downloading the update (which is a single standalone update installer file), run it and just wait for the installation to complete (depending on the performance of your computer, the process may take different times, but in any case, it will take significantly less time than downloading and installing updates one at a time).
Finally, all that remains is to restart the computer and wait for the update setup to take place when turning it off and on, which also does not take too long.
Note: this method installs Windows 7 updates released before mid-May 2016 (it’s worth noting that not all of them - some of the updates, the list is on the page https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3125574 , Microsoft did not include it in the package for some reasons) - subsequent updates will still be downloaded through the Update Center.
