Android device - scheduled scan - skip file

[crypticc]

Hello

I recently switched from Norton to Kaspersky and very happy with the switch.

My experience on the phone is less good.

I have a kaspersky on my android and have an APK used to test phone root status.

Kaspersky tells me it's a virus.  It's not but probably uses undocumented features to test if the phone is rooted.

It offers me skip option, which is fine.

Until the next scan when it nags again, and again, and again.

 

Per this topic below permanent exclusions was added to the request list in 2019.  Anyone know how this is getting on?

Thanks

P.s. I don't want to turn off scanning entirely... That's what I did with Norton and defeats the point and these kind of nagging messages is one of the reasons I left them.

Hello @Chr1s, 

Welcome!

Sadly, no, in September 2019, Kaspersky Developers said: 

 "We are glad to inform you that your request has been considered and added to the list of suggestions that will be implemented on the future versions of Kaspersky Internet Security for Android."

Since then, in  6 years, 2 months, 1 day: 

Crickets, zip, zilch, a big fat NOTHING!! 

Which is a damm shame, for an Android environment, the ability for the *user* to manually manage & exclude files detected by the AV is essential. 

In the most recent version there's absolutely nothing that meets this criteria: Kaspersky, Android_11.126.

We'd like to know why, however, due to Kaspersky's ballsed-up change management process all the 'communications', including one from a Kaspersky 'supervisor', have been what we would categorize as gaslighting... 

Kaspersky simply close the related cases & the *original-necessary-change* is buried in the bowels of Kaspersky unless & until some poor-creature decides to endure the whole process again....

To which we say, why bother - OR - alternatively, good luck, hope results are forthcoming in (yr) lifetime. 

Thank you🙏
