Looking at the name and icon, yeah, I'm not surprised.
Well, yeah, some apps are just garbage disguised as something actually useful.
The real question is, do you trust Google's Judgement?
I also got the same message on various Android TV boxes. Analiti is a good alternative.
I got this today also after months of seemingly no issue
I've come across many a viral app in Google's Play Store over the years, luckily Malwarebytes Premium always saves the day, even when the Play Store can't/doesn't.
Me too.
I got the same, just removed it.
I also got the same message on Shield TV 2017 with ATV11
I just got this message. I deleted it and haven't used the app in quite a while. Is there any other steps I could take as precaution?
I received this warning too, is there any other meassure we should take (apart from uninstall, I mean)?
Google should be a little bit more transparent with this kind of problems, does this means my credentials used in the TV have been exposed? Should I worry about my whole network? Can the TV itself been trojanized?
I had the exact same problem, which is a positive thing, by the way; and uninstalled it.
Can you imagine that I just copied some sensitive files ! In order to recover them in the network on another PC. So we can never really be safe from a problem
I don't think I'm going to use this method anymore. yet super practical. it sucks!
Not surprised. Removed it a few months ago when the IDS on my firewall started flagging and blocking connections on my Android tv devices. After removing the firewall stopped alerting.
Use Analiti
Google has the nerve to talk about apps stealing your data 🙄 yet when they do it they try to hide it
Got the same message. Go to apkmirror and do the leastest update and you will be fine. I did it myself got no harmful message after scanning the app for viruses.
A lot of free apps, like that on the play store, have adware and spyware and malicious stuff in them sometimes. Calculators, QR code, scanners, VPN’s, etc.
