Thanks for your info..as Avast false detect one of my app which is not malware app..already submit false report..

I guess I should wait Avast to remove the false detection..

Hi,

I think you can speed up the process a bit by posting what app is it here I can try to send it to our virus lab directly.

Hi,

and what's the detection? Since this should be a PUP at least.

Hello Filip,  I'm having the same insurance and I cant send the report, so, maybe you could send it as you told before.

My false positive is with a very  thrustefu game, warspear online. http://warspear-online.com/files/android

The alert I got: Trojan Android:Ksapp-AQ

Thank you for your help.

Is there a way for us to list it by ourselves?

[Filip Havlicek]

Hi,

what do you mean by "list it"?

Wow, I can't believe I'm bumping a topic that's been a dormant requested feature for more than 4 months.

This is an ad blockers whitelist feature: http://i.imgur.com/OEvo7tg.png

Just as ad blocks can sometimes be a little bit TOO thorough, so can an anti-virus application. Just because avast considers it a POTENTIALLY unwanted program doesnt mean i should be removed did every 15 minutes about it and whatever or not I want to uninstall the app. There's simply no feature for disabling detection for certain applications. That's so vital in the Android ecosystem, we don't want everything to affect everything else.

I have to uninstall this app until some sort of local exceptions feature is implemented. Asking on an app by app basis here is just silly.
