I have installed avast! Mobile Security Premium! 3.0.6426 with definition version 131102-00 and LBE Privacy Guard 3.0.1009 on my rooted Samsung Galaxy Note 1 (GT-N7000) running Gingerbread (Android version 2.3.6 build XXLA6).
When I enter avast! it says “Malware found !” and “Resolve all” and “LBE Privacy Guard is a potentially unwanted program (Android: PrivacyGuard-A[PUP]).” with options “Uninstall”, “Info” and “Allow for 15 minutes”. “Info” gives me the options “Force Close” and “System Info” which gives only further information about the “Read Identity Info” capabilities of LBE Privacy Guard, which are quite in accordance with the permissions I have granted this application. “System info” gives me various information about LBE Privacy Guard, none of it alarming or in any way other than what I would expect, and offers me further only the options “Force stop”, “Uninstall” or “Clear data”, none of which in any way represent my wishes with respect to LBE Privacy Guard. Entering the avast! programme which says “1 problem found” and “Resolve all” (which I have not done as I do not wish to “Resolve” a programme which I have legitimately installed) also gives met the option “Report as false positive” but if I fill in info and “Send” nothing changes.
I wish to use both avast! and LBE Privacy Guard as they both seem to offer me desirable security and privacy options. As far as I can see, LBE Privacy Guard is a reputable and perfectly respectable privacy protection programme offered quite legitimately via Google Play, which I have downloaded and installed. Why is avast! getting so upset about LBE Privacy Guard? It What is wrong with it? How can I get the programmes to peacefully co-exist?
