Just ran a scan on my Samsung Galaxy S3 and Avast reported over 5,748 problems. All of them being the same thing "Invalid Context During Scan" and it was with EVERY app that's on the phone. What is going on here?

Seems a very large number of users are getting this now. Looks like a bad update of the virus definitions, is my guess.

Hi,
that is exactly what happened. We stopped distributing the affected virus definitions and are already working on releasing a fixed version.

Thanks. Perhaps revert to the previous one in the meantime, otherwise you'll get a lot more confused users ;-)

We did, but we can't revert those who already updated

Can't you just change the version number so it will roll out again even to those who updated?

Yep, that is what we are doing right know, but the build, distribution etc takes some time to complete.

Thanks for the clarification! Brand new droid and after the news about a Trojan horse last week, I thought I'd been infected. Glad it's just a software problem.

Yep, that is correct. You need to initiate a rescan though to get rid of the problems.

Mine says Current Version: unknown
If I try to manually update, I get: The downloaded virus definitions were invalid. Please, try again later.
