In today’s technological landscape, ransomware is a well-known yet potent threat, posing significant challenges to individuals and businesses alike. With the fast-paced evolution of these threats, staying ahead is crucial, and Quick Heal delivers exactly that.

The Rising Threat of Ransomware

Ransomware attacks have become increasingly sophisticated, often targeting users by disabling or uninstalling their antivirus software. This leaves systems vulnerable, allowing cybercriminals to lock users out of their devices and demand ransom for restoration. The consequences can be devastating, leading to data loss, financial damage, and operational disruptions.

Added Layer of Authentication: A Robust Defense

To counter this growing threat, Quick Heal has introduced an added layer of authentication for the uninstallation process so that you as an owner of your Quick Heal antivirus can decide actually when to uninstall your antivirus software.  By requiring an authentication code, we add an extra layer of security, ensuring that only authorized users can uninstall Quick Heal antivirus. This measure effectively prevents ransomware and other malicious actors from disabling your antivirus protection, keeping your system secure.

The Importance of a Mobile Number for Authentication Code

For the authentication code to be effective, customers must use their own mobile number for their Quick Heal account. Product activations or deactivations from someone else’s  mobile number can compromise security in several ways:

• Increased Vulnerability: Sharing someone else’s mobile number for your device’s antivirus can make it easier for cybercriminals to target and breach your security.
• Technical Support Challenges: Unique identifiers streamline technical support, ensuring that assistance is accurate and tailored to each user’s specific configuration.
• Mitigation of Business Risks: Authentications through mobile numbers help prevent widespread breaches that could expose you to significant personal or professional risks and potential customer litigation.

Protecting Your Digital World

The new authentication code feature demonstrates Quick Heal’s commitment to providing robust security solutions that adapt to emerging threats. By ensuring that only authorized users can uninstall the antivirus software, we protect our customers from ransomware attacks and other cyber threats that aim to compromise their data and devices.
