App Contacts+ identified as PUP
« on: April 02, 2014, 02:38:37 PM »
I've been using the Contact+ app for a while but yesterday Avast started identifying it as a "Potentially unwanted program".  It identifies Agent-BKX and shows the words "chilli@string".  False positive reported via Avast app.6102

Hey,
we've released a new version that is not yet available for all users (v. "3.23.8"),

We've received several reports about this from some of our users on this new version.

@Tech, I can send you the new version privately so you could investigate this further.

Thanks.
