If you are a computer user it doesn't matter what os you use but definitely, 99% of the audience use anti-virus once in their life to protect their device from viruses. viruses are just a program like your other applications they are used to steal your information and destroy your data/device. viruses can come from many ways you open a website that has no "SSL Certificate" it can bring viruses to your computer you can check the website. check the link, when the link starts you see "HTTP" or "HTTPS" HTTP stands for the "hypertext transfer protocol" and Https stands for the "hypertext transfer protocol secure" those websites that have "HTTPS" in the beginning are more secure from viruses or hack. you can see "Https" on youtube as well. there are some more ways like installing any application, Po#n websites and inserting unidentified or insecure pen drives. these are one of the few common ways for viruses. when a virus came into your system the steal your data, lock your system, and make unwanted file to slow down the computer speed. recently a virus called "wanna cry" ransomware locked millions of computers and if you want to unlock it you have to pay money to the hacker under a fixed period of time. if you didn't do that so that virus will format your pc in simple language it will delete all the data on your computer most the pc have less important data so they just install new windows and are done but those guys who have their office related work they have to pay the money to the hacker for the password. in some cases, hacker gives the password but in some, they didn't.

Bank account frauds
Bank account Frauds are one of the common Frauds any scammer calls you and told you that you got a lottery or your credit/debit card is going to expire there are hundreds of lies, that guy told you may be a different reason but the thing they want is same they want to get some information like your name, address, phone number, credit/debit card number, Expire date and the most dangerous "OTP" OTP stands for "One-time password" whenever any scammer want to withdraw money or purchase from your card he needs your "OTP" After increasing in online scams "RBI" issue a guideline that all the banks should be enabled "OTP" for any transitions this is a type of security layer which is pretty good. never, any bank asks for any opt or confidential information on a phone call so if anyone asks for these things like CVV or OTP cut the call go to the bank, and check manually whether your card is expired or not. don't be scared som times you should be aware. you can also download some apps like true caller or get contact these apps show you unknown numbers names or locations. once a scammer calls me and I knew his name because I have that application, if that call is from a genuine customer care office application will show the number name but still doesn't give any OTP and other things on the call.
you can also check the country code Indian code is +91 if you had a call from Pakistan or other countries your phone will show you like Pakistan code is +92 so check it also if any guy calling you from other countries it means it is a scam stay away from it.
