Kaspersky Android flags Samsung Internet as trojan

[K0908]

All of sudden, it flags Samsung Internet as Trojan as in the picture.

It only asked me to block it, then navigate me to the app setting. You CANT block Samsung Internet if you want to browse internet. Right? Then the report says no threats found.

I tried Avast and Bitdefender, none of them detected anything.

Another false positive?

Didn't you read the answers in your previous thread? Then read, it might be useful.

It picked up the same alert twice with two different full scans. After scans with Avast and Bitdefender for no alerts, I cleared data and cache of Samsung Internet app, then I no longer picks up alert anymore with kaspersky.

I will bookmark the opentip website for the future reference. Thanks for the info.

I reanalyzed the totalvirus link in my previous post, and it no longer detected by Kaspersky. So that was a false positive. This one is probably the same. 

I heard Kaspersky started using AI detection now. Is this one of the side affect? I never had any false positive issue in my last decade of using Kaspersky. But it started to happen quite often now.

Some technologies are described in this article. It has been used for quite a long time. But I didn't notice that there are more false detections. And I don't think it's possible to make such conclusions based on a couple of detections.
