How do I add file/folder/app exclusions on the Android app? I've looked everywhere on the app.

@Alexandru_BD, while this is true, I may have to step in and broadly make a query on this. Since you have already answered, but there are certain situations when an external app is installed that the user does not want to scan and wants to keep as an exception, but there is no option for that.

One such exception may not be a good practice, but many people use modded versions of applications to access premium features without paying. While this can sometimes be risky, users still want to keep these apps as exceptions.

For example, on my other device, I try to download modded versions of apps to check them against Bitdefender if it detects them as malicious or if there is any code change. Sometimes Bitdefender detects it as Android.Riskware.TestKey, and sometimes it does not detect anything. But regardless of what Bitdefender does, I do not want it to detect this file in the future. Because if it does and I do not uninstall that particular app, Bitdefender will always warn me, which can be a headache for some users.

@agozob, can you also provide some insight here? Additionally, can you also briefly explain the detection Android.Riskware.TestKey? Is it a detection created by malware researchers or is it a cloud-based detection, or what exactly is it? To me, it seems like a machine learning detection, as we have the engine of Bitdefender Theta on VirusTotal, which is a kind of machine learning engine for other types of OS malware. That being said, machine learning cannot be integrated in Android in my opinion, but then I think, why is the detection showing up under the Bitdefender Falx engine on VirusTotal since VirusTotal under Bitdefender Falx only shows detections created by malware researchers? So, is it the detection created by malware researchers? I am getting a little confused here.
