# False reports from Avast ### How can I know if Smart Launcher is safe? You can verify it by yourselves by scanning your Smart Launcher APK with [VirusTotal](https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/upload) or any other antivirus not powered by Avast or AVG (which are distributed by the same company). ### History We contacted Avast and tried to solve the issue with them. Although they recognized the issue, it seems [they are unable](https://twitter.com/Avast/status/1554496154687229953) (or do not care) to permanently solve it. Once in a while, Avast marks a new SL update as malware. People report the issue to us, we contact Avast and Avast manually cleans the error. \ \ We requested a better solution but Avast didn't provide it yet. We are a small indie team and for us, nothing is as offensive as marking our hard work as "malware". At the moment we are studying a solution (legal and/or technical). ### What you can do 1. Uninstall or disable any Avast / AVG product from your phone. 2. Help us report the issue to Avast, using their [Twitter account](https://twitter.com/Avast), their customer support at or the forms to report a false positive ([Avast](https://www.avast.com/false-positive-file-form.php) / [AVG](https://www.avg.com/en-us/false-positive-file-form#mac)) 3. Avoid devices that have Avast / AVG software built in.
