Quick Heal Mobile Security has been protecting Android and BlackBerry users effectively. However, one of the most persistent threats to mobile devices is the abundance of spam, fraudulent, marketing and other unwanted text messages that people receive. SMS (Short Message Service) messages are the most widespread means of communication for millions of people all over the world and the low cost and ease is simply unbeatable.

However, there are many parties that take undue advantage of this medium and bombard our inbox with spammy texts. Some of these are legitimate, yet unwanted, offers from marketers whereas others are simply fraudulent scams that try to entice and fool people. The recent rise in SMiShing attacks further demonstrates this claim.

Quick Heal now provides a phone number that you can forward such SMS messages to. We will take a note of all such messages that reach us and this information will help us enhance our protection.

If you receive spam and unwanted marketing messages, kindly forward such messages to +91-8600044733.

Quick Heal Mobile Security provides a feature that lets users block unwanted messages from suspicious numbers. Our scan engine analyzes such messages and this information is utilized to improve the protection features offered. Since such messages are a rising concern amongst mobile users, the feedback we receive will help us improve the capabilities of our engine. That directly translates to ensuring progressively better detection rates and enhanced security.

  • Please note that one does not need Quick Heal Mobile Security installed on his/her mobile phone to forward an SMS to this number.
  • Additionally, regular SMS rates (as per user plan) will apply to anyone who forwards a suspicious message.
  • The message sent by interested individuals will be treated as a valuable and voluntary contribution to the security community.
  • We also request readers to store this number for future reference.

      I too have had the same problem many times.
      The solution is simple, either you can repeat the process of scanning and cleaning the malware process 4-5 times and it gets d job done or you can simply secure delete the malware file from its location.
      Cheers 🙂

      By The way I forgot to mention that if you use Quick Heal Total Security then it has a built in System Cleanup Software so there will be no need for another extra software.

  10. as the security threat level is low ..i would suggest to manually delete the folder indicated by qh antimalware …once i got the same type of problem..each time i scanned there was something detected which was not able to be deleted by qh antimalware ..then i found the folder is visible to me .so i deleted it manually .well you can try in safe mode too

  19. Hello,

  20. Great move! The number of SMSs with lottery, property deals,services,astro solutions (& the list goes on…) is extremely annoying.

    But even more annoying are the number of Tele-Callers calling for Insurance plans, recruitment services & NGOs seeking donations,which is on the high these days despite my number being registered on NDNC for the past 8 yrs!!!!
    Some telecallers argue that they are doing their job & have a right to call every number they have on their list while some apologize but beg & plead to be heard at least once.

    Any suggestions on how to get rid of this menace & Block unknown numbers on mobiles (like a spam filer of sorts) ?
    Thanks!

    My QHTC updates daily. I purchased it in 2009 and renewed it for three years in 2010. Today I got it updated. Suddenly now it says that the virus database is of 12.05.2012

    Why does it happen so. It happened in May 2012 also.

      Hi Manikanta,
      You need to open your Quick Heal dashboard and then click on the ‘Emails’ icon. You can then alter the settings as per your requirements. You can open the ‘Spam Protection’ settings to enable Quick Heal detection for spam emails on your machine.
