Trojan Detected in 3 game apps - Android.OPFake-FE

[webomatic]

This warning (Android.OPFake-FE) popped up for the following 3 apps tonight:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.playtika.slotomania

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.slotgalaxy

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.portableslots.app.slotoprime

Are these credible threats or false positives?

I have also found three apps today with the Android:OpFake-FE [Trj] on my Nexus 5. Each of the apps was added when the device was purchased in February and they have also been on my Nexus 7 for some considerable time. Daily scheduled scans have not detected any problems in the past. I have uninstalled and deleted all all three apps. The apps are:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=au.mynrma.openroadmagazine&hl=en

Is there some risk or are these possibly false positives?

Same bug for our games (adobe AIR based)

We receive lot of complaints from our players.


Avast Team : When the next update 'll be available ? That trash our Business & Reputation !

[NamitaM]

This issue is very severe. Our app as well as a lot of other apps are being affected by it.

AVAST TEAM: Please provide us with an estimate of when this will be fixed. We are pouring a lot of money into user acquisition - and this false positive really paralyses our efforts right now.

Same here, I am developer with apps on the Google Play store, last 24 hours every other review complaining about our apps being Trojans, neither app has been updated in at least a month. This is very bad for business. Built with Adobe AIR, please fix ASAP.

[mayo.inove]

We have the same problem with our app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.eu.inove.sss2

It is adobe air with adobe air captive runtime packaged inside

According other antivirus programs, our APP is OK and SAFE.
In the concrete, it was checked by:
1.Malwarebytes anti-malware
2.ESET mobile security & antivirus
3.AVG mobile antivirus security

Please resolve this false alert, because it causes very negattive reactions of our users.

[TreeFortress]

We're also getting SLAMMED with 1-reviews and uninstalls due to this.

We're also an AIR developer.

Both Bardbarian and Bardbarian - Golden Axe Edition, are being flagged as a false positive.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.treefortress.Bardbarian.Premium

Please do fix immediately. This is pretty irresponsible of you, this is people's livelihood that you are messing with here.

At the very least, please roll back to previous version as you figure this out, and not leave our App Ratings completely ruined.

You must realize how hard it is to counter 1-star reviews? And these users will never return.

Please fix this issue!

I received two exact identical complaint about 2 of our games today.
Both games are built with Adobe AIR and virus-free!

Please fix this as soon as possible, before we get even more bad press and false accusations.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

as far as I know this is already fixed. Advise your customers to update their virus definitions manually if they are still experiencing issues with the above mentioned detection.

Looks like the 1 star reviews stopped, went back and replied to all of them telling them to update their AV software, thanks for the quick fix but come on have an AIR app in your test inventory.
