MonTransit apps security

Multiple antivirus apps are claiming some MonTransit apps might be "malware", "trojan", "virus"...

Why

These antivirus apps think MonTransit apps might be harmful because they don't have an app icon.
Only the main MonTransit app has an app icon.

Google Play Store security

Google would not let an app developer with hundred of thousands of downloads distribute harmful apps on Google Play.

Antivirus apps on Android are mostly useless

If you only download Android apps from the Google Play Store, you don't need an antivirus app.

Especially because Antivirus apps on Android have no power to block potential harmful apps since Antivirus apps are not installed with Administrative "root" rights (unlike on Windows PC for example).

Antivirus apps can just warm you after it's too late:
the potential harmful app is already installed and potentially running in the background.
