CTOnews.com, April 11 (Xinhua) Samsung protects its Galaxy phones, tablets and laptops from malware through a pre-installed antivirus solution powered by McAfee. McAfee will continue to be pre-installed on Galaxy phones, tablets and laptops for at least the next nine years.

Samsung and McAfee renewed their partnership for another nine years. The pre-installed McAfee anti-malware solution for the Galaxy S23 series, Galaxy Book 3 laptops and older Galaxy devices will continue to protect future Samsung devices from threats for a long time.

The last time Samsung and McAfee extended their partnership was in 2018, when Galaxy S9 was launched. The built-in virus scanner in Samsung One UI (located in the "device Protection" section of the Settings application) now reads "supported by McAfee." It could last nine years or more.

If you have a modern Galaxy smartphone or tablet and want to run antivirus scanning, you can access "Battery and device maintenance" by opening the "Settings" application, then click the "device Protection" option (CTOnews.com note: there is a shield icon) and press the "scan phone" or "scan tablet" button.

Anti-malware solutions run in the background and scan Samsung devices regularly, so users don't actually need to perform regular manual scans to protect their devices from threats when browsing the web and using social media / online banking applications.

McAfee Labs claims that its anti-malware solution is supported by more than 200 threat researchers, discovering 537 new unique threats per minute and blocking 22250 threats. It protects more than 600 million devices in 182 countries.
