I’ve not seen this for quite a while now, so it seems to have been resolved.

Not sure how to check that. I can't find anything that refers to accessibility with respect to unknown apps.

It's the same one in my OP. Strange though because on the phone, Kaspersky is now saying that the device settings are safe. Could it be that "My Kaspersky" hasn't yet updated to reflect the current status?

Hello BrianE, As well as what the shield has posted, specific to Android: Kaspersky has:https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kms.freeKaspersky Mobile Antivirus: AppLock & Web Security ► Find my phone — locates & locks your Android phone or tablet if it’s lost or stolen► Anti-Theft — protects personal information from thieves, wiping it from your device probaby similar for iOS.... Yes, I have already set that up - it was the apparent lack of a similar feature for Windows devices that I was wondering about. In the example I quoted, ESET creates a phantom account on a Windows device (PC, laptop or whatever) and if the device is stolen or lost and someone logs in via the phantom account, it prevents access to the real accounts and starts sending information about the location of the device/takes mugshots, etc.

Having just put a trial version of Security Cloud on my PC and Android mobile, I'm confused as to what benefits if any, this new software has over Kaspersky Total Security, especially in view of the fact that the Android version requires two separate apps with the newer software, except that double the number of users for Security Cloud are available for the same price on Amazon. Can anyone advise please?

Thanks for the prompt reply. I've been through the settings (big job) and made a few changes. I had to log in again several times as Kaspersky locked my phone each time I went to change a setting that brought up the Android warning message about possible loss of functionality. I'm not sure now whether I should just leave the setting in Kaspersky as per the picture below?

OK thanks - done that.

I note that ESET security software has an anti-virus function for Windows devices as well as Android devices. I'm not sure if any other anti-virus suites have a similar feature but would that not be a good feature to add to Kaspersky products for added peace of mind?

Kaspersky Secure Cloud has advised me of a weak setting on my Galaxy A3 Andoid mobile, but I'm not sure what I need to do to satisfy the alert in Kaspersky so that it doesn't keep flagging this up. Can any advise please and provide precise steps to take?
