avast! detected Go Launcher EX and next browser as pup and malware?
« on: January 10, 2014, 01:12:32 PM »
Hi, recently my mom was using my Kindle Fire HD new gen (no camera) and suddenly,BAM!. Avast said that Go Launcher was malware and same with next browser. I looked into the log, and it said it had TONS of viruses in it. I can't screenshot, though. So, all I have done so far is reinstall avast! Mobile Security on to it. Is this a false positive?I really want GO  launcher back  :'(

Hi,

wrong virus definitions were the cause of this. You are safe to install whatever apps you want again :) Sorry for the troubles caused.
