GMail detected as a trojan, uninstalled, installed and still a trojan

Avast Mobile has detected GMail as a Trojan. I have uninstalled, rebooted the phone and reinstalled and still a trojan.

I don’t think it is a trojan, it comes from Google Play.

Besides if the trojan comes from Google Play the antivirus should have detected some kind of problem with Google Play.

Hi,

I have the exactly same problem today since the last Avast Update.
Standard applications as GMail, ChatOn and even my trusted Bank App are marked with the Android:FakeInst-EY

Same here I have gmail, drag racing, samba mobile and Firefox reported as android:fakeinst-EY [Trj] really annoying, fix ASAP!!

Mine is a Samsung Galaxy S3.

Yours?

Nexus 4 running codefireX SR15 with Franco kernel M1

I’m on Galaxy S3, have the same issues with trusted apps like GMail suddenly being a trojan.

Please sort this soon guys it’s very irritating having warnings pop up every time i try to check my email!

I’m considering disabling avast (I have a disable button on my custom ROM) and see if that stops it without uninstalling.

J’ai exactement le même message d’avertissement venant de Avast
J’ai accepté la désinstallation de Gmail proposée par Avast pour résoudre le problème
Je suis allé sur le Play Store de Google pour demander une mise à jour de Gmail
Après que la mise à jour ait été réalisée sur mon Android, Avast a stoppé l’installation des mises à jour avec le même message.

Conclusion :
ou Avast se trompe
ou il y a une vérole dans la mise à jour de Gmail
