So I just got this app on my phone and it found a threat in my downloads folder. After resolving it, I am not sure where or what it did to the threat. Does it delete it or keep it in a chest on my phone like the computer version? I can not find the answer anywhere and no where on the app does it tell you again what the file name is.
Hi, infected apps are removed.
removed as in deleted? so if i uninstall the avast program, the file/threat wont come back right? also is there a way to view what file was the threat?
Yes, deleted - the threat will not come back, even if you uninstall the antivirus app.
All details about what the app has done is to be found in the Activity log:
- open Avast Mobile Security
- tap the three-lines-icon in the upper left corner
- tap on “Settings” in the menu
- check “Activity log”
It might not always be too detailed, but I hope it helps.
