Kaspersky Internet Security for my Android was just updated. Now, when my screen is locked, it displays the warning icon (triangle with exclamation point inside). As soon as I unlock my phone or turn the screen on the warning icon changes to the "protected" icon (shield with exclamation point inside). Why is this happening? Is my phone at risk when screen is off or locked?

Hmm, I see the same triangle with my phone atm. In my case it's due to my licence expiring in a few days so I have to ask how long is your present licence subscription.

Hello petsy, Welcome again! Thanks for sharing the"expiring subscription" information, that's very useful:thumbsup_tone3: Would you be kind to upload an image for us please? (so we have it in our reference db) Thanks:pray_tone3:

Hi Flood, This is what I see in the pull down screen when at the desktop. The three icons appear in the lock screen.

Thank you for your assistance. After reading through your answer I wasn't sure if I had rebooted, so I tried that and IT WORKED! I can't believe I didn't try that initially, so I apologize for not attempting it before seeking assistance in this forum! But I appreciate the solution! I will, however, still answer your questions...in case it will help you to help anyone else in the future. 1. Android 8.0.0 Patch October 1, 2018 2. KIS Version 11.28.4.2304 3. Licensed Version with 100 days remaining 4. I cannot get a screenshot of lock screen, but it's the same triangle warning icon petsy provided. 5. Initially, no I didn't reboot, but have now...and resolved the issue. 6. Yes, I actually ran TWO scans in attempt to address the warning icon. 7. Thank you very much for replying with what eventually fixed my problem!

And, if you're unsure about anything, always "ask', that's what the Community portal is for!
