My Andriod Device Manager causes malware??

[AC Question]

I use my AVG antivirus and i've seen that my Android Device Manager is the cause of malware

A false positive, no doubt.

 

[Mr Mendelli]

It may have a large list of permissions. Or permissions like location, wake lock, access accounts, ect... which are usually flagged as high-risk permissions.

That must be a false positive, as other have stated. I have used ADM for years on all 4 lines in my home and never had issues. It has been invaluable twice when phones have been lost or stolen.
