Hi,

Please see this guide: https://support.avast.com/en-ww/article/Mobile-Security-FAQ/#idt_4100

Thanks for the response but the guide only explains regular scans, and not full scans. Apparently you are supposed to do a full scan once per week.

If you open the Avast App, there is a big round Scan button, does that not do what you wish ?

I have just run it and it doesn't take very long (but I don't have lots of junk on my phone).

Also use the Hamburger (3 bars) button (top left) > Settings > Protection and you may find Internal Storage Scanning isn't enabled you can elect to do that but could increase scan duration.
