I had paid version installed with auto update and I didn't receive any warning via PlayProtect.

Kaspersky blog mentioned that the malware was part of the advertising module; so I assumed it gets activated only on the free version, so I manually scanned using PlayProtect in a mobile with free CamScanner installed.

Since both of the instances I've mentioned has auto update, it's likely they were >July 30. But Kaspersky did mention that the latest version was indeed affected.
