false positive?


Webroot on Android informed me of the following potential threat. I assume “Terminal” is a CLI, but didn’t think Android would have an app for it.  I did not download an app with this name, nor have I recently installed new apps in the last few months.  Never happened in all the years I have used Webroot. I requested the incident be reviewed. Any suggestions?  Thank you.

ATTENTION NEEDED

Benign Detected

 

App: Terminal

Webroot has determined that this app is malicious. The application or file is benign.

Thank you for your reply. I appreciate it.

Is clicking on the “Request for review” button in the Webroot app equivalent to submitting a support ticket?
