VLC on Samsung Galaxy SII Being Reported by AVG ANtivirus

[tonsai]

Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy SII and I have 'AVG Free' running on it for Antivirus. It is reporting VLC as a Security Threat and classified as: Potentially Unwanted Program.

Any idea why?

Thanks

It should be submitted to http://samplesubmit.avg.com/ as a false positive

Also, make sure you download VLC from the official nightly builds: http://nightlies.videolan.org/

Custom versions of VLC you find around the Internet may have malware.
