I refer to this report on Kaspersky's Securelist:

I have the paid version of Camscanner installed, yet AVG Free did not detect any malicious software. Is this correct, since the paid version of Camscanner does not have advertising (and thus possibly not have the malicious third-party module) or is AVG Free oblivious to this threat?
