Weak Settings [Android]

[BrianE]

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?

Welcome to the New Kaspersky Community! You have to go (in Your Mobile) Settings and disable that setting. Check also this link: https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/android-8-permissions-guide/23981/

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?

Which one is the weak setting ignored? the one in Your previous post?

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, Have you tried logging into the MyK portal, disconnecting & reconnecting the device? That may help.

BrianE: did You finally disabled in Your mobile settings -> accessibility to unknown apps?

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

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