Risk alert does not make sense relating to supposed app install.

Yeah i have the exact same problem as you do.

It is happenning since the latest update.

Nothing has been installed.

I am also seeing this issue on Pixel 7, Android 14 with the August Security patch and Bitdefender Mobile Security 3.3.247.2457.

pixel 6. android 14. bd Version 3.3.248.2458

Same here (as also mentioned in the other thread) with version 3.3.248.2458 on Android 14 on Pixel 8 Pro.

I'm on a Pixel 8a and getting the same alert over the past few days on a regular basis. The error message would be much more helpful if it said what the offending app (or apps) is.

Habe das gleiche Problem, 6 pro, Android 14 . und bitfender 3.1.10.127

Das nervt so sehr, dass ich den bitdefinder am liebsten runterschmeißen würde

Sorry to take up space, but I jumped over from another thread which sent me here and I'm posting so I get updates.

Also... Agreed.. non sensical notification of "omg your new app you installed needs to be scanned" yet.. doesn't tell you which one?? :/

Good morning,

I have the same issue on my pixel 8. Every night , i have an alert of potentially unwanted application installed, but i have Never installed a New application.

Hello,

Judging by the latest reports, this appears to be an issue which manifests itself mainly on Pixel phones, however, I cannot confirm 100% at this stage. Nevertheless, I appreciate everyone's feedback here, we are following the thread and the developers are comparing the information with the inquiries received by the Support teams as well, and they are pushing for a resolution. We are keeping this thread as the main one.

Thank you all for your patience.

I wasn't pointing the finger at anyone. For what it's worth, Pixel phones are good as any phones. It was just an observation regarding a pattern that emerges from the information we have so far.
How did you come to the conclusion that "it's been a year" since the issue manifested itself? Because this is not true. Any resemblance to a previous problem is purely coincidental, because it doesn't take that long for such bugs to be spotted and addressed by the application development teams. Now, it can be that an issue resurfaces with an update, be it OS update or BMS update, but that doesn't mean that it wasn't addressed at the time it was discovered. There are no outstanding issues that have manifested for such a long period of time.

Thanks

I don't think it's necessarily only on pixel phones, I think it is related to latest security patches and pixels are getting those faster than others. I have my pixel from August and I only noticed this bug in September, and I remember there was a big patch of updates in September, that could have caused whatever it is that reverted the fix from 1 year ago

I have the same issue. Pixel 5a. This has been happening for two weeks everyday. The only app I installed recently was SoundHound.

I can confirm that my issue on Pixel 8 Pro is still current, just receiving another just now.

Another observation I made just now. The scan counter was sitting at 114 scans, I checked for apps updates and got about 15, clicked update and noticed each was scanned after/during install which is normal but later I also got the notification to manually scan the newly installed app, which there is none, I scanned manually too and now the scans counter sits at 116. So I think the scan is happening twice but for some reason the automatic one gets discarded and a manual one is promoted. Hope this helps narrowing down the behavior.

Imagine Google installs something on your Android 14 twice a day, and Bitdefender... :P

Fix this... please!

Coming over from the old thread. This problem has been going on for at least 10 days now, are we closer to a solution?

I find it disconcerting that this problem looks the same as the old problem from earlier this year, at least from the outside. I hope it can be put to bed for good this time.

Hi,

A fix for this BMS behavior is still undergoing development. I do not have an estimated time for the release of the fix yet, but I will update this thread as soon as it's implemented by an automatic update of Bitdefender. Please keep in mind that all reported bugs require investigation time. Since product updates are usually released once a month, in some cases it may take even close to one month until a fix is implemented in the product - this does not include the debugging period, which may be long or short, depending on the complexity of the problem they are facing.
Of course, a 'hotfix' for a major issue can be released earlier, once it's found.

It's like I've said for the other issue concerning the App Lock feature on Mobile Security for Android.

Testing an app, feature or fix across the multitude of Android devices and configurations poses a significant challenge for the developers, as you can imagine. There are so many different Android devices, each with unique screen sizes, resolutions, processors, RAM, storage, sensors, and more. This hardware diversity makes it difficult to ensure that a feature performs well on ALL devices ALL of the time, so as a developer you need to make sure of that. Otherwise, any problem you think you've fixed now may resurface later on and this is exactly what they wish to avoid.

Also, I think we must take into account that although Google releases new versions of Android regularly, not all devices receive updates at the same pace. This leads to a variety of OS versions in use, and developers must ensure compatibility across older and newer versions. Many Android device manufacturers (e.g., Samsung, Xiaomi, Huawei) customize the Android OS with their own user interfaces, features, and optimizations. These custom ROMs can introduce variations in how apps/features behave, adding to the complexity of testing.

And the list goes on, really. Now, I'm not making any excuses, nor pointing a finger elsewhere, but I wanted to show you the bigger picture. This will be fixed asap.

Thank you all for your patience.

Same issue. Pixel 8a android 14

I am finding this very bizarre! Posted the above 5 days ago and since then I have not had the notification, thought it has been fixed, looked at my mobile this morning and it's back again?

Getting these daily now, especially when in the morning when I wake up. Phone is a Pixel 7 Pro

Same issue on my Samsung S10e running Android version 12.

Same problem, Pixel 8a running Android 14.

Been happening from around the time of the last Security Update.
