The photo relaud posted in a reply is slightly different than what is on my S24. The Google Play store app scan I didn't say was for antivirus protection but it does scan if it is safe or not. Here is a screenshot that say "Powered by McAfee". Yes, the phone does have it!

This is from Samsung:

Samsung phones are protected with Knox security. The Samsung Knox platform is built into Samsung smartphones, tablets, and wearables at the manufacturing stage, so you have it the moment you unpack your device. The Knox platform consists of overlapping defense and security mechanisms that protect against intrusion, malware, and more malicious threats.

It may not exactly be antivirus software per se but according to what Samsung support has said when I asked is that it will notify you of a virus so Knox does scan for them.

Malwarebytes mobile from play store, download and scan. If you have a virus it will be found and removed.

What is the problem your having exactly, that's the question nobody's asked yet, if you can explain the problem, we might be able to give you better help.And there might not be a virus, it might be a hiccup, in the programming or even an application causing the problem

I was thinking the same thing and was about to post the same question.

Most people assume issues with apps must automatically be a virus, when most of the time it's user error, or misunderstanding of what the issue actually is.
