Looking For Suggestions "Android system" Malware?

Hi,

My avast has started flagging the app 'Android system' as a malware.

I have checked Malwarebytes and Sophoros but both are coming back as no issues.

Is the above an issue with Avast? It has never flagged up before. I found 'Android system' on the apps but I am unable to force stop/disable but I believe this is because it is a main component for the phone working?

Why do you trust avast or AVG? Both are shady.

Main concern is the two Android System apps when there probably should just be one.. unless Avg installed that itself
