Real-time protection checks selected app, file, link, or device activity as it occurs and warns about threats covered by the security productâs current detection, Android access, and configuration. It differs from an on-demand scan that runs only when the user starts it or on a schedule.
What it may cover
A product may inspect newly installed apps, opened or downloaded files, known malicious links, phishing destinations, and selected device-security conditions. Coverage differs by feature, plan, device, Android version, region, permission, connectivity, and background restrictions.
What it cannot guarantee
New and targeted threats may not yet be classified. A legitimate website can host deceptive content, and a technically clean payment or support conversation can still be a scam. Real-time protection does not verify every sender, seller, caller, or transaction.
Permissions and background activity
Continuous checks may require access to files, links, notifications, Accessibility, or other Android functions. Read each permission and keep only the access needed for features you use. Battery optimization can affect background operation.
Responding to a warning
Identify the exact item and avoid opening it again. Confirm the source, review permissions, and run a full scan. Remove the app or file when the evidence supports the warning. Secure credentials and financial accounts separately if exposure occurred before detection.
