My app is treated as Malware.
« on: January 14, 2014, 08:16:10 AM »
Hi, I recently released an application called UpNext on Google Play. It's just a homescreen widget displaying events from user's calendar. Few people have reported to me that, after intallation, Avast Mobile Security told them, that the app has been reported as malware.
I have actually tried it myself and I'm facing the exact same issue, as you can see on: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7274923/Screenshot_2014-01-14-08-00-39.png.
Please could someone advice me what I can do about that? The app does only have permission to read and write calendar data and it actually only reads them. I expect this to be some kind of false detection and I've already reported that through the Avast Mobile Security so, but the issue still persists.
Just FYI I've the latest virus databases - at least according to the app:)

Thank you

Adam
