I got this the other day after updating some apps via Samsung market, with Samsung Wallet. (An app I never use.)
It was a system dialog that popped up warning that the app had 'malicious behavior', iirc. And was in language more certain than your typical AV software false-positive.
Since I never use the app anyway, I uninstalled it to prevent the repeating "warnings".
What really aggravates me though is that I have Google's Play Protect turned off, yet have to reassure it everytime a non-PlayStore app gets updated or installed (via a similar system pop-up dialog) that No, I don't want to turn on Play Protect. Occurs occasionally for Samsung market apps, but almost everytime for F-droid or sideloaded apps.
So it's (Google) obviously monitoring and scanning everything installed regardless of your settings.
I just wonder if this Samsung App issue is Google pushing the envelope to more aggressive default (and non-overrideable) intrusion, or if it was unintentional.
Or maybe unintentional only in that it included Samsung official apps.
