Hello

I have a Samsung Tab S with Malwarebytes Anti=Malware on the tablet,so tonight I try to run the scan and it runs for 4 seconds before telling me about a crash report and I should report it not sure what is going on so thought I would ask the good people of DS for help

Why do feel that you need to run Malwarebytes on a tablet?

I expect it has just picked up a log file created when you had an app lock up some time. I doubt it is anything important. I would ignore it if you are not having any issues.

You could just delete old log files

Good point - it won't! You could try clearing the system cache - go to setting - storage and you will se an item called cached data. A long press will then ask you if you want to clear it.

To be honest, this may not help, and unless you root your tablet (remove security restrictions), then you may keep getting the error message.

You could backup all your key data and do a factory reset, but you would have to reinstall your apps.

Frankly, it is probably easier just to ignore message. It is quite hard to really break Android - a lot of error messages just worry you unnecessarily.

PS: Your question suggests your moniker is not entirely accurate but I like the alliteration )
