Scan area

You can choose which types of files the app will scan for the presence of threats.

When choosing the types of files to be scanned, remember the following:

  • Malicious code can be located in all types of files, most commonly in executable files (such as APK files).
  • Threats can be hidden in archives. In order to detect a threat in archives, the app has to unpack them, which can reduce the speed of the device scan.

The app scans the contents of archives for threats irrespective of the file type selected. Scanning of archives of various formats allows you to scan a memory card that is used in several devices, for example.

The app analyzes archive formats used in Android and other mobile operating systems. The app scans the following archive formats: ZIP, JAR, JAD, SIS SISX, CAB and APK.

When the app scans archives, it unpacks them. Archive scanning can therefore significantly reduce the speed of the device scan.
