Dr webb detected HiDisk HwCloudDrive.apk

[Android Central Question]

Dr.Webb found -android.HiddenAds.210.origin

Dr.Webb found -android.HiddenAds.210.origin. I'm panicking. It was detected in Huawei cloud drive.apk. What's happened. I've never had these detections before.

Welcome to Android Central! Chances are that the Huawei app came with some adware, and your security app identified it as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP). Adware isn't technically malware in that it isn't malicious, but it can be annoying, and your security app probably considers those kinds of apps to be a "threat" since it isn't smart enough to distinguish between the two.

HwCloudDrive.apk file gone!?

DrWebb identified these files as threats and performed these actions...

Com.huawei.hidisk (threat ignored) If this file is still on system, is it dangerous.

HiDisk/HwCloudDrive.apk (threat deleted)

Threat title: Modification -Android.HiddenAds.210.origin

The He.CloudDrive.apk file is now nowhere to be found in my system. How do I get a clean copy back. This must be a system file and was required for use somehow. I hard reset my android and the APK is still nowhere to be found. Why? Anyone with any info would be appreciated.
