Understand and act on scan results

After each scan, Trojan Scanner shows a summary and recommended actions. Here’s how to read it and what to do next.

View your results

  1. Open Trojan Scanner → Reports to see your latest scan.

  2. The card shows: status (completed/paused), apps scanned, duration, date/time, and detections.

If threats are found

For each item you’ll see the name, location, and a suggested action.

  • Remove — delete the malicious file/app.

  • Quarantine — isolate so it can’t run; you can review or restore later.

  • Ignore — keep it (not recommended unless you are sure).

Tip: Preinstalled or device-admin apps may need you to disable or revoke admin in Android’s App info before removal.

If nothing is found but something feels off

  • Update the threats list, then run a Deep scan.

  • Check Settings → Scan Type and consider using Deep weekly or after installing many apps.

Keep the threats list current

Open Threats List info to see the last update and the current database version. Tap Update now if it’s out of date.

Where to find past results

All previous scans are listed under Reports. Select a card to view details. You can save or share a log if Support asks for it.

Adjust how results are kept

In Settings you can choose:

  • Keep Reports — how long to store scan reports.

  • Sounds/Notifications — alerts for detections and completed scans.

Quick checklist

  • See results → Remove  threats.

  • Update definitions regularly (auto-update recommended).

  • Still suspicious? Deep scan after updating.

  • Manage Reports and Quarantine retention in Settings.
