Hi,
AVG free has identified a malware threat in my "Android system". It's suggesting I disable the app, but it's not an app - it's the operating system? Any suggestions?

A straight restart didn't remove it. No avg upgrade available either. But i cleared out the cache and data from the avg app, and started afresh again. The scan then didn't find anything. 12 hours of stress but issue now gone. Thanks.

Thank you for updating the status, Karen.

Glad to hear that your issue has been resolved.
Again, we regret the inconvenience this has caused you.

We'd be happy to help you. Have a great day!
