About Avast-Mobile false positive

Please refer to VirusTotal scan results, 60 virus detection software are only reported by Avast-Mobile.

This false positive first appeared in version 3.1.4.0. After communicating with Avast the problem was resolved.

We checked this with our virus specialists once more and the app has now been whitelisted. This change should take effect with the next virus definitions update.

The main reasons this app was detected previously were features like hiding app icon, changing ringer volume and similar, but we have since classified these rules as out of scope of this app. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

Here is their response

False positive have occurred again in the new version 3.1.5.2. Ignore this warning if you are affected by this. Please report this false positive to Avast through the Avast App. You can also change to other virus detection software.

Now that Avast’s guidelines have been added to the whitelisting program, hope the problem can be solved.

It’s too bad. Because it causes a lot of bad reviews on Google Play.😂

  1. I like how well-written and informative your content is. You have actually given us, your readers, brilliant information and not just filled up your blog with flowery texts like many blogs today do. If you visit my website YQ9 about Online Business, I’m sure you can also find something for yourself.

  2. I have the app and I use it every so often…. I use to think it did bulk messaging (over 50 contacts) at one time…. Does it still do that and where can I find out if was sent… Thanks
