Additionally, scheduled scans can be performed on times other than immediate threats are discovered. If a scan reveals a threat, Kaspersky can also remove it. Information about each scan, such as the number of files scanned or objects ignored, is automatically gathered and presented to the user. Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus keeps a continuous watch for new threats and scans files when necessary. This is because the software needs to download data required to store progress, completed jobs and schedules. Kaspersky Mobile Antivirus needs a network connection to perform database update tasks. Additionally, it needs access to all local files and memory as part of its regular operations. Kaspersky will typically request this permission when launching the app. Kaspersky's mobile antivirus requires access to the main storage drive where other apps' root folders are stored.
