I am trying to get an early version of the Go 4 app, but the ones I download always have malware when I put them through Virus Total. Does anyone know a site where you can get safe downloads?
 
Agreed apkmirror. Where are you getting "malware" copies?
APKMirror is where I've been downloading from, but when I run the result through Virus Total, it always warns of one piece of malware, usually a Trojan. Could it be a false positive?
 
most likely. i've always thought apkmirror was safe.. its run by the same people that run androidpolice.com
 
Most likely your virus scanner is
Seeing the software your downloading
As a false positive happens all the time
It’s the nature of the beast

No site can ever be 100% safe, but I am confident that these download sites are generally clean and worthwhile.
  • Ninite.
  • Softpedia.
  • MajorGeeks.
  • FileHippo.
  • FilePuma.
  • Download Crew.
  • FileHorse.
  • SnapFiles.

Anti Virus may pick up a false positive for any software that can change files. I saw one of my Anti Malware programs find .SRT files so had to make an "Acceptation" to exclude .SRT files from being picked up now on.
