HuaweiCentral: Huawei smartphones began to detect a Google application as a virus
Due to an unknown bug, Huawei smartphones began to identify a proprietary application from Google as a Trojan. This was reported by HuaweiCentral.
According to journalists, the problem was first reported by a user under the nickname SM SM 7012, who spoke about it on the Google support site. The author noted that on the Huawei P10 smartphone running HarmonyOS, the operating system flagged the Google application as a virus. Later, Reddit visitors spoke about a similar situation—the post received more than half a thousand likes.
Media journalists noted that the problem may be related to the Optimizer antivirus, which is preinstalled on Huawei smartphones. For unknown reasons, the program began to identify the Google application as a Trojan that can “steal confidential information.”
As a temporary solution to the problem, experts recommended clearing the Optimizer cache and restarting the smartphone. Huawei and Google have not yet responded to the problem.
At the end of August, Windows 11 users complained that the browser built into the OS began to identify the installation file of competitive Google Chrome as a virus. The system prompts the user to move the file to the trash and delete it.
