Hello. I Installed Kaspersky on my phone but I can't find full scan. Is it removed in new versions? Because I can do full scan before, or am I infected? It scanned 228 apps and it says my device is clean. Thanks for your help.
Edit: I can full scan with Eset. I scanned with Malwarebytes too and it found VivaVideo malware, and there isnt any other issue.

So why you don't use Malwarebytes as your mobile scanner? It found a virus and Kaspersky not.
There isn't probably a full scan button in Kaspersky Mobile Security but I'm not sure.

What i can find is that Kaspersky Internet Security has Full Scan already enabled , but if it didn't find anything, use malwarebytes or ESET instead for now,or the one i use the most often Zemana Mobile Antivirus

Before, this button is in it, but I re-installed after trying Norton, but I can't find. Now I'm using Eset.

Well i don't usually use Kasperky so id recommend just sticking with ESET *Which you have now* or Malwarebytes for future protection! :D
But that's very weird they don't have that option

Hi! I didn't know it, the first scan must be a fast scan. If you do it, you can do a fullscan. I didn't waited it and deleted the app but I gave a chance and learn it. The thread can be locked now. Have a nice day!

Because there's no such thing as full scans on mobile security. Just go to scan settings and tick to scan internal storage and system apps. That's the whole system.
