Hello @druggist ,

Please Submit a Support Ticket and let them know. I'm pretty sure this is a false positive. Someone else I believe it was @smith2006 had this issue that they posted here on the Forum a couple of days ago I think...I would hit "ignore"

Anyways let us know how it goes when you have a chance.

Hello,

There is currently a false positive with Avast, where they are detecting our antivirus as an infection. We are in the process of having this resolved with Avast.

A version of Avast's antivirus is inbuilt into the Android version that Huawei uses, you can safely ignore this detection from Avast.
