Eset Mobile Security as a threat on Huawei Optimizer for Android

[loripumi75 0]

Dear All,

Today the Huawei Optimizer app for Android detected the Eset Mobile Security as a threat with the following message: "apk:RepMalware [TRJ]||arep"

The phones Android version is 10 and the Build number is: 10.00290 (C432E12R1P1)

This is a false positive of the Huawei Optimizer app or a serious threat?

Best regards,

Lóránd

Obviously a false positive of Huawei provided that it's a genuine ESET Mobile Security from Google Play.

Seems like a detection from Avast engine, based on the detection name.

Extract the quarantined sample and upload it here.

I have the same issue. How do I stop my Huawei p20 from issuing these false alerts, please? 

Many thanks,

You shouldn't need to do anything. Definitions for the 3rd party app that reported a false positive on ESET were updated by the maker of the app and the false positive was fixed.
