Title: False positive Android App - Android:Evo-gen [Trj]
Post by: randomvector on October 29, 2022, 06:03:56 PM

Hi I am the developer of Outline Icons - Icon Pack for Android on the Google Play Store.

I have recently been receiving messages and user reviews that Avast is flagging my app as infected with a Trojan. I have checked and scanned the app and it contains no malicious code. I used the Avast false positive form but I am still getting users messaging me that Avast is still flagging my app as infected. I have scanned the app with VirusTotal and have included an link to the report and the app on the Google Play Store. Any help to resolve this quickly would be appreciated as the false positive has been affecting my apps reviews negatively.

Hi,

I have filled out a false positive report a couple of days ago but haven't heard anything back. I took a look at whitelisting but wanted the the false positive fixed before applying for whitelisting.
