Hi @adrian_00_, and welcome to the Samsung Community forum. To put your mind at ease, our phones come with Samsung Knox, a defence-grade mobile security platform that is included in the phone's software. This protects against viruses, malware, and cyberattacks.

You can find out more here: https://www.samsungknox.com/en

Your phone also has a free virus scanner, which you can manually run to check for any threats. To do this, please follow the steps below:

> From your Home screen, swipe up or down to access your apps.
> Select "Settings".
> Tap "Device care".
> Select "App protection".
> Choose "Scan phone".

Your phone will now automatically run a complete scan. Should any troublesome software be found, you will be guided through a few simple steps to remove it.

I hope this has offered you some reassurance.

If you're worried about anything, I would recommend doing a factory reset on your phone. Be careful on the sites you visit. Any pops up or ads, avoid clicking them. Your phone also comes with Auto Blocker which keeps your phone safe. If you enable it as well as maximum restrictions, this should provide strong protection.
