Avast Antivirus flags Gurgle as 'suspicious' #50

Closed Dao0fGeek closed 2 years ago

Avast needs to be informed re falsely flagging this app as 'a suspicious app that may harm your device'.

Could be right, it uses garish colours and loud noises and might flatten the battery if you play all day :shipit:

Just my guess, but Avast may be flagging new updates and installs from F-droid cuz it also flagged Sushi and OpenCalc which I had installed previously via F-droid - so they may all have been flagged after they updated. I don't have any other explanation. Just trying to be a "good neighbor" cuz if I'm getting them flagged then other Avast users are too. I do see that virustotal's version of the avast engine doesn't flag it or the others so it's probably unique to the android version of Avast's engine.

Uninstall your anti-virus. If you download APKs from teh interwebz, why should you care?
