Android:FakeInst-AKQ [Trj] False Positive?
« on: September 03, 2015, 03:49:45 PM »
When updating a popular game 'Star Wars Commander' Avast! alerted me it contained  Android: FakeInst-AKQ [Trj].

I find it hard to believe a major game developer would inadvertently include a trojan in a game under a major franchise. Reviews in the Google Play store report similiar. Is there any info on this? Is this a false positive?

The app has ceased flagging the app as a trojan so it appears to be functioning correctly.

Thanks!
