You getting a virus warning about a mod? In most cases, that's a false positive.
Why some mods apk trigger false positive virus warning
If you receive a virus warning about a mod, it is important to consider that in most cases, it is a false positive. This is often because modders implement protection measures to prevent others from stealing their code. However, these protection measures can confuse antivirus software and cause it to flag the mod APK as a virus. It is worth noting that there are modding websites that may contain extra unwanted ads on their mods, which can actually be viruses or adware. These malicious elements annoy users with ads and collect their data without their knowledge. At platinmods, you can be assured that such shady activities have never occurred and will never occur. If you suspect that you have installed a mod from one of these untrustworthy websites, you should consider removing the harmful mods that are filled with unwanted ads. However, if your device is not behaving strangely and the mod you installed does not display more ads than the original game itself, it is likely just a false positive warning. This explanation is particularly useful if you have visited websites other than platinmods, as you never need to worry about mods filled with ads or legitimate virus warnings on our platform. If you are tired of false positive warnings, it is recommended to use the built-in antivirus called Google Play Protect provided by Google Services.
