False positive Trojan?
« on: February 25, 2014, 05:24:19 AM »
I have Avast Movile Security on my android device for a long time, but last week when i was reeding an articule on Flipboard Avast detected a trojan called: Android Agent-CBU (Trj) in my launcher application, i tried to delete it but its impossible; i restored the factory settings but the virus's alert came back after 2 minutes without installing any other aplication than avast.
Could it be a false positive case?

Hello, could you please tell us what is the name of the application that avast found the virus in? You said it was your launcher.. was it a stock launcher or some other launcher? Thanks

Hello Denis:
the launcher is the one that came with the phone, it's a stock launcher, name: com.uucun.launcherS3.

Hi Avast:
The problem came back again after the new update of avast!
i restored the factory settings again just to be sure it wasnt a real virus, and the alert continues Please fix it.
The avast alert:  Agent-CEP-trojan in Launcher application. It cant be posible because i restored the factory settings and my launcher is a stock launcher (com.uucun.launcherS3).
