Malware detected in the offer?

[Abbas Malik]

Just downloaded an application from the offer page and my virus scanner detects malware in it. How do you deal with such an offer?

Thanks.

Hi Abbas, most recently it's nothing but false alarm, especially often it happens when you are using smartlink with APK offers included. Anyway, contact your AM and tell him/her about it, they will probably help you solve the issue.

@Daria_WapEmpire thanks.
How will the end users know it is a false alarm? Will this offer convert?
Thanks.

Depends on AV being used. If there's no way for you AM to solve it, will be better exclude 'suspicious' offers, and remember, I said it CAN be a false alarm, which means it can NOT be a false one, as well! Much depends on your network

Im not quite clear on what you need specifically. However, in case its in reference to keeping your traffic clean, Im going to take the opportunity to give some insight into fighting fraud in local markets How Networks and Advertisers are fighting fraud whilst achieving growth for affiliates

It's a situation when antivirus says there's malware detected, with no real threat existing. not sure if you can use it any way
