False positives ? Maybe

Play protect should flag any android app issue if apps came through Google play
Possibly. I'll reinstall one at a time and scan for viruses.

I know very little about apps and viruses, but from my point of view,I would say it's your phone that has the virus not the whole app, and it just shows up on your A v thing.
Possibly. I'll investigate further.

I'm intrigued that no one else reports problems with theirs. I wonder if an anyone could explain if how an app can piggy back into an app and reside there. Could the same malware have infected a different app?

Scammers will be disappointed with my phone. Very few apps installed and none that give access to financial stuff.

What ho! I'm about to send a cheque to pay the bill for the water rats. Old Skool. :cool:

I wouldn’t have the first idea of how to do a security scan on my phone, Samsung S20, but there appears to be a constantly running ‘app?’ in the background that checks the phone and apps continuously. Never flagged a problem

Yes, but what actual evidence is there. I would like to to be able to judge vulnerability for myself and you, because of your experience, may be just the chap to help me with what actual evidence there is for this, please.
I ran the test. Wrote the evidence. I don't work there any more.
But I do know that all the major AV companies employ Apple programmer and their products cover all platforms.

Where’s the best place to hide a virus for these scammers…??

Yep… antivirus software

I’m so glad I pay extra for iOS…😎

Do you have FillLPG or Park4Night on your phone?
I have P4N and it didn't flag up any issues with it, don't have FillLPG.
