Avast mobile throwing false positive for Lakitu.

[REDACTED]

Hey,

Im the app developer of Lakitu (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kwd.lakitu). Recently my users have complained that Avast has marked my app as malware. It is a recent virus definition that was added since it only started to do this a couple days ago. The malware code is "Android:Pircob-C [PUP]". I've been loosing users because of this and would like to know, specifically, why my app has been flagged. I have no problem providing an APK to support for extensive testing.

Thanks,

W

Bump, I also cant compile debug versions on test devices without them being flagged? I opened a ticket that has yet to be responded to.

Hi,

the detection should have been disabled yesterday.
