Vocalizer Posted February 7, 2019 ID:1297260 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi there, hope someone can help. I've scanned my android device with Malwarebytes and it detects nothing but Fsecure finds a virus in one of my APK's. The virus is flagged as Maldroid.B.Gen. I wondered if this was a false flag or whether this is indeed a virus that is not in your database. I really need this APK for my device to run correctly as it is the launcher and would like to remove the virus from the APK. I have attached a Zip of the APK in question. Kind regards.

mbam_mtbr Posted February 7, 2019 ID:1297273 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Hi @Vocalizer, I can't speak for FSecure, but I can say that it is definitely questionable. There detection is a Generic detection, probably from a heuristics scanner. It's not on Google Play, and there are things in the code that is kind of odd. It's hard to say since I wasn't able to get this to run on any device myself. I want to say it's probably clean, but if it were me I would personally use a different launcher, like Google Now Launcher. What mobile device do you have? Is this a system app?

Vocalizer Posted February 7, 2019 Author ID:1297277 Share Posted February 7, 2019 Thanks for taking a look Nathan. It's the launcher provided by the manufacturer "Beelink" and so is the update that caused the alert. I'll probably stick with it as I can see no reason for them to infect their own devices. Just wondered why Malwarebytes hadn't detected it. I'll just keep close eye on things. Kind regards Adrian Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
