Can someone with experience using VirusTotal help interpret these results
How do I interpret the "1 detected"? Oddly enough, the AV that detected is not AVAST, even though AVAST for mobile is flagging it as malware.
Yeah, looks like a false positive. Send the file to Avast as a false positive from within their app. Also, you can choose to ignore the detection of that file until Avast corrects their signatures.

Or just take my word for it?Thanks for the replies. Feeling less worried.

Gotcha. Is this a paid feature?
