phone manager detected the latest mbam update as a virus, is it a FP?

[PSYKO]

So I manually updated mbam on my phone yesterday and the phone manager flagged it as a virus, android Evo gen (trj)

Claims it's a root kit,

Just out of precaution I thought I would check, is this a FP or is this an actual issue?

Ive been using mbam on this phone for over a year now with no issues, so I thought before ignoring it I check here was a good idea

Hi @PSYKO,

So the phone manager is flagging MBAM as malware, correct?  Do you have a screenshot?  If you installed Malwarebytes from Google Play, then it's definitely an FP.

Hi @PSYKO,

To follow up, what phone brand/model are you using?

[PSYKO]

I'm on an oppo x3, I updated a previous version of mbam through the play store so I'm pretty sure that it's an FP just wanted to get the message out incase I can grab a screenshot if you need

Hi @PSYKO,

Yes, we are seeing cases on other Oppo phones as well.  As you pointed out, there is a FP with the Phone Manager app.
