False positive malware alert after recent system update

a week ago

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'm curious. If you download Avast and do a scan, does it detect it for you? I would download surfshark to test, but it seems to need a subscription. Its also the same Device Property app for you right? Maybe you should report it as a false positive to surfshark and see if they fix it
