Yas Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401333 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Same here. I look forward to the remedy for these multiple false positives (many being system apps which can't be removed). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Root Admin AdvancedSetup Posted August 15, 2020 Root Admin ID:1401338 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) The issue is resolved now. Updated malware db is now live. v2020.08.14.02. Please do a manual database update, Hamburger thingy in upper left > Settings > Other > Force Update. Tapping 'Force update' won't show a status notification, the update will take a minute or two to download and populate. You can see what version of the malware db you have installed by tapping the Hamburger thingy in upper left > About > App version down 'V' > Malware database Edited August 15, 2020 by AdvancedSetup updated information Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmca Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401340 Share Posted August 15, 2020 My phone just got through running a scan and came up with 76 false positives, too. Google Play Store? Really? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

xDante Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401359 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I thought it was an attack and the playstore was infected and therefore the malware spreaded into all the apps with the weakspot for the virus to infect them I've deleted all the apps and froze the system app. This ***** scared the ***** out of me. Ain't waiting the end of investigation, i got sensitive stuff i need to protect. I hope it's just a bug in the update. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traptinkansas Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401360 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Same problem here. I'm left baffled. Don't the maintainers try this on Android devices with standard system apps before they release updates? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KMWilber Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401365 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I restarted the phone, and still, MalwareByte's "Force update" reacts to the click, but does nothing. Last update time does not change. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brotherblues Posted August 15, 2020 ID:1401366 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Yeah it seemed like a false alarm from the get go but still, some bit of panic does creep up on the back of your head.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
