My phone is warm and battery charge is dropping too fast. Is there a way to scan an Android smartphone for virus? I can mount my phone as a storage device on my desktop computer.

More often this is just dumb/bad apps. There is something in Android somewhere that lets you see exactly what app is using the most battery. Can never remember how to get to it, but searching in settings should be easy. You should check that out.

Also make sure all background apps are closed, usually with the hamburger option in the 3-option Android nav menu -- click Close All.

If you do all that and nothing is revealed/fixed, then... someone else will have to help: I've never tried an A/V program on Android.
