and what does virustotal say?

VirusTotal says it’s clean (though I don’t know if VT scans for mobile threats).

Also scanned with NetQin and nviso, which both report no threats.

I am the author of this app. I have tried reporting using your contact form that is is a false positive, but it always results in 500 internal server error after pressing send.

Its being reported for both Full and Lite version of FolderSync.

Please fix, thank you.

When I scan on Metascan I get 0/43 green, so apparently a FP.

Android:Abmbine-C [Trj] was an FP and the detection was disabled.
It will be fixed in the next VPS update.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Avast Mobile is now showing FolderSync downloaded from Amazon as being infected with APK:RepMalware[Trj]. Is this also a false positive?
