Trojan Scanner can keep you informed while you use another app. A manual scan’s completion alert and an automatic new-app finding are different notifications, with controls in the app and in Android.
Get a manual scan result in the background
- Open Menu → Settings → Notifications.
- Enable Notify when scanning finishes.
- Allow Trojan Scanner notifications in Android when requested. On Android versions that require notification permission, grant it if you want alerts.
- Start a scan, then use another app or lock the screen. When the scan finishes, tap the result notification to return.
Why there may be no completion alert
A completion notification is suppressed while Trojan Scanner is visible on an interactive, unlocked screen; you can read the result directly. If the app is in the background, Android permission, channel settings, Do Not Disturb and lock-screen preferences can still affect the alert.
Turning off the completion alert does not stop the scan. Background progress and other alert types are controlled separately. Check Protection history when you need to confirm saved activity.
Automatic app-check alerts
Free Automatic app checks checks new or updated apps with the local database. Findings can trigger a notification; clean checks do not announce every installation. Review automatic results in Protection history.
These checks are distinct from Pro’s scheduled scans of existing apps. Android can delay background work. See automatic app checks and schedules.
Choose sound and lock-screen display
Open Settings → Sound and notification display to reach Android’s notification controls. Available options vary by device: enable the relevant channel, choose sound or vibration, and decide whether banners or lock-screen content can appear.
The scanner’s general sound preference is separate from Android’s channel sound. If an alert is silent, check Android notification settings rather than only the app’s sound switch.
New-version reminders
Notify about new versions controls automatic update reminders displayed inside Trojan Scanner. It is not a background push service and does not install updates silently. You can still check for an update manually. See app and database updates.
