Type of files to scan

Selection of files to be analyzed during a scan of the file system of the device. You can choose to scan the following types of files:

  • All files: the app scans files of all types (such as music, text, system, and executable files). This is the default setting.
  • Apps and archives only: the app scans only executable files (apps and app distribution packages), such as APK files, and does not scan other files. By selecting this option, the device scan is quicker.

The app scans the contents of archives irrespective of the file types selected. Scanning of archives of various formats allows you to scan a memory card that is used in several devices, for example.

The app analyzes archive formats used in Android and other mobile operating systems. The app scans the following archive formats: ZIP, JAR, JAD, SIS SISX, CAB and APK.

When the app scans archives, it unpacks them. Archive scanning can therefore significantly reduce the speed of the device scan.
