avast mobile threats location?
« on: March 07, 2018, 01:05:37 AM »
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.

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.
