How do I run my first scan and handle the results?

Short answer: Open Trojan Scanner → tap Start → follow actions on the results screen.

Steps

  1. Open the app and tap Start.

  2. If prompted, Allow files access so downloads and storage can be scanned.

  3. Wait for the progress bar to finish.

  4. On the results screen, choose for each item: Remove, Quarantine, or Ignore (avoid Ignore unless you are sure).

What the actions do

  • Remove: Deletes the file/app. Best for confirmed threats.

  • Quarantine: Isolates so it cannot run. You can review/restore later.

  • Ignore: Leaves it as is. Not recommended.

If nothing is found but the phone acts weird

  • Update the threats list → run a Deep scan (Settings → Scan type).

  • Review recently installed apps and browser extensions.


InfoRelated settings

  • Scan type: Quick (daily) / Deep (weekly).

  • Quarantine: Remove files after: Auto-clean old items.

  • Keep reports: Choose how long reports are stored.
