Google Play Services Virus Notification. What is Privacy NakedChat?

[nicole_d_armas]

Hello all,

Two weeks ago when I looked at my phone, I had two notifications from Whatsapp and from my anti-virus app, AVL Pro. The notification from AVL Pro said it caught a Trojan on my device and when I clicked on the notification it mentioned it found one malicious threat: Google Play Services Privacy Nakedchat. I took a screenshot of it as well. I tried to look it up to see if I can find any information about it, but couldn't really find anything. I hit uninstall, but since Google Play Services is a system app, it can't uninstall anything. Just yesterday morning, when I ended a Whatsapp call, I got the same message from AVL Pro, that it was still installed on my phone sometime during the night. Everyone I talked to said to ignore it, but I am hoping someone on here might know what this is.

I'm not sure how much I'd trust AVL Pro. The last time the app was updated in the Play Store was May 2018, and the company certainly isn't a well-known name in the security field. Try using a more reputable app like Malwarebytes.

What do you see if you tap that icon at the upper right?

Its an ignore list. If I click to ignore the threat it goes on that list. I think you're right about AVL Pro, I did run a scan with Malwarebytes and nothing showed up there. Thank you for your response.

Yeah with anti-virus I'm not a big fan on mobile phones as long as you don't go shady sites or download unknown files you don't need them .
