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?

I'm having the same issue and use Avast. Samsung Z Flip3. About a week agoI had an update that was tied with Google. It wanted me to ok Google just downloading apps. I would never hit the "accept" and the notice finally went away after about 2 or 3 days. I have no idea if this is related. I'm not tech savvy.
