I use LibreAV (https://f-droid.org/packages/tech.projectmatris.antimalwareapp/ ) and malwarebytes on my phone.
LibreAV scanned my phone and said that all my apps were safe, including Chess Walk (Chess Walk | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository ).
But a while ago, Malwarebytes detected Chess Walk as a virus!
Is this a false positive, or is this detection correct? If it is a virus, why did LibreAV not detect it, and why is Chess Walk still available on F-droid?
Thank you for your help.
An old app made by the founder of F-Droid, wow.

Programmers may deliberately obfuscate code to conceal its purpose (security through obscurity) or its logic or implicit values embedded in it, primarily, in order to prevent tampering, deter reverse engineering, or even to create a puzzle or recreati...
