Hello. I saw fake libs and PrivApp folder when I'm looking in folder scan menu in Kaspersky Mobile. It says my device is clean. My device is Samsung Galaxy S7. Is that safe? Thank you.

Sometimes an app needs to execute native code, it can be an image processing library, a game engine or whatever. In such case, those ELF libraries will be found inside the libs folder, divided into architecture specific subfolders ( so the app will run on ARM, ARM64, x86, etc ).

I don't know what "fake" means in this analysis but I believe that seeing "fake-libs/libs64" is not enough to say malware.
Kaspersky confirms this so don't worry.
