I've not seen my Trend Micro app alarm for AGG. Most likely a false-alarm detection.

Anyway, lemme clarify… Upon tapping of the "Claim" button, Avast alarmed. It must be something in the way Avast scans applications that it detects something that AGG tries to do when one "claims" the daily freebie. Probably an app-behavior detection, if such thing exists. Upon re-installation of the "newer" (v2.7.5) Ayakashi app, Avast also alarmed. Eh, it must be something in the (structure of the) app itself for this one. Ayakashi v2.7.5 being new though, I'm not sure why Avast would detect it in such a manner.

Judging from the detection name though, Android:SMSreg-AUY [PUP], it's something related to SMS & that it's a Potentially Unwanted Program. That signifies that it could collect some info and tapping behavior, instead of being a really nasty virus that steals info.

…Come to think of it, I do remember the AGG app still having that SMS & Contacts permission, w/c I believe was only put there in error some time ago [citation needed]. I don't think AGG ever let us use any feature in-game that involves our contacts and SMS.

I still think it's a false alarm though.
