On mobile so I haven’t dug into them, but Kaspersky and CheckPoint are both vendors whose flagging does justify further looking into.
Someone should probably run some sandboxed scans and post the links.

Side note. What you posted is just the RAR archive. The actual file is much worse.

Thanks for sharing this. I took a look and it seems like most of them are “malware/generic“. I wonder how much of this is because it is some random script file that is launching shell commands like ADB?

You are totally right those results should be check. I used this tool instead if anyone is interested :

So you just upload a file and it scans it before you install it? Fairly legit service?

There is no reason why this shouldn’t be on GitHub since it’s likely just a bunch of ADB commands anyway. In the Reddit thread the author repeatedly refused to acknowledge or address the calls to make the tool open source. No thanks, seems too shady to me.

Someone still on Reddit should go add a comment about the virus total, preferably as a reply to that top comment for visibility.
