Just 3 weeks after started using some cheap Android devices from China (Onix 10.1") both got the same detection with AVAST of Android:Agent-JSV [Trj] on the file com.mediatek.touch21_zh8001, yes both of them detected on same day so must have been in definition update
There are no details from Avast on what this threat does other than its a Trojan, is there anywhere i can find this detail if its a downloader or backdoor that has possibly pulled down the payload and another threat may be installed on the devices
Thanks for the reply , i cant find a way to copy the apk from the device to email or submit to VT so can be scanned
are there any writeups on how to to this , there does not appear to be a way with Avast Free so do i need to purchass also i cant locate the dir
data/app/com.mediatek.touch-1.apk with native andriod file explorer , does the device need to be rooted , yes im a n00b to Andoid and have
been avoiding it till now , im computer savvy with linux/windowz
you can try reporting it as a false positive (that’s an option inside the Avast Mobile Security) and pasting a link to this thread into the description of the report. Hopefully someone will get back to you after investigating the file (can’t make any promises though since it’s a different department).
