Robbie1 Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401283 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I did a scan an I have 36 infections of malware, all the same: pup.risktool.callpay.lo I googled it but couldn't find anything about it. Here some screenshots: it's literally in every app! What is it and should I press remove malware? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ncodex Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401287 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Don't press remove malware. It's likely a buggy update, I'm experiencing the same issue. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hyoujin Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401290 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I have the same issue as well. Checked my partners phone and she had the same issue. Same PUP.Risktool.CallPay.lo on every app. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KMWilber Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401292 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I came here with the same problem. It's reported on 48 perfectly valid applications, when Malwarebytes ran completely clean the last scan. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401293 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It is being investigated now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 15, 2020 Root Admin ID:1401294 Share Posted August 15, 2020 This appears to be a False Positive @Robbie1 We are reviewing and will update soon. Thank you @ncodex too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVS Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401298 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Glad to see this was reported. I also received an alert about 66 apps being infected, and many of them are system level apps (Play Store, Messages, Photos, etc.) Thanks for the quick update @AdvancedSetup Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
volcs0 Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401300 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Thanks for addressing this so quickly. I had to uninstall Malwarebytes for now, because it was giving me a popup every few seconds. Just for confirmation, I ran Bitdefender (free) and it found no threats. Will look forward to the update. Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erinne Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401302 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I'm glad to see a quick response on this one. I created a forum account specifically to question this, as my daily scan just came back with 117 results of this exact problem. Last night's scan was all clean, so it was mildly concerning.

Stale Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401308 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I have the very same issue. Coming from a tech graduate and I tend to stay clean, this false positive scared me. I had 91 apps triggered. Even Netflix. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's funny that the technological side of the world just immediately congregates on a forum. It made me really panic when I could not find anything on Google.

JosBlu163 Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401325 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Same here. Literally made an account just for this and had a near heart attack. Figured it had to be a bug of some kind since it detected legitimate android apps as PUPS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobCha66 Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401331 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Ditto! This just happened to me as well. I was watching Netflix and a notification popped up saying Malwarebytes found 43 threats! Say whay?! I looked and they all have the same thing "Android/PUP.Risktool.CallPay.lo" and it's everything! Google Play Store, Google Services for AR, YouTube, Uber, Uber Eats, Google, OneDrive, MyPhone, Messages, Netflix, etc, etc... My phone is a Nokia 7.2 and I have Malwarebytes Premium.
