False positive malware alert after recent system update

After the recent system update my Avast antivirus app started to report that "Device Property v2.9" contains malicious code and should be removed. As far as I can tell this is a default Asus system app and can't be removed. I'm assuming this is just a false positive, but still pretty worried. Is anyone else getting the same problem? I'd appreciate any help!

I have the same issue with Zenfone 10 after the latest update

I hope Asus will respond and confirm whats going on, though both of us getting this problem probably means its just a false positive from Avast

@Palmu Did it get fixed for you too? My Avast stopped flagging it

Noup. I have surfshark and its still flagging it.
