Automatic Scans

 

Scan Level
 
There are 3 different scan levels to choose from. This setting will apply to On-Charger Scan and Scheduled Scan:

  • Quick - if you select this option, ESET Mobile Security will only scan installed applications, DEX files (executable files for Android OS), SO files (libraries) and ZIP files with a maximum scanning depth of 3 nested archives.
  • Smart - Smart scan will scan SD card content in addition to the file types scanned by the quick scan.
  • Deep - all file types regardless of their extension will be scanned both in internal memory and SD card.

 

On-Charger Scan
 
When this is selected, scan will start automatically when device is in the idle state, fully charged and connected to a charger.
 

Scheduled Scan
 
Scheduled Scan allows you to run the Device scan automatically at a predefined time. To schedule a scan, tap the button next to Scheduled Scan and specify the dates and times for the scan to be launched. By default, all days of the week are selected.
