Android TV Tools is a third-party tool that makes it easy to use ADB commands through a Windows PC to improve your Android TV experience.
You're viewing a single thread.
The Virustotal results are concerning though.
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.
Good luck with that. Looking though the comments people are just installing and using this without any thought or scrutiny whatsoever and such a comment would likely be considered hostile by them.
People that bought an Android TV blindly trusting things you say
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 :
Ha! I feel like I live online and I've never heard of this site.
So you just upload a file and it scans it before you install it? Fairly legit service?
Yeah, very legit.
FYI: Google is the owner :)
