Avira for Android reports Yaaic as a "Riskware":

pkg.apk

SPR/ANDR.SMSreg.GE.Gen has been detected

Probably a false positive by Avira, but anyone could confirm this ?

I have yet to confirm this either and Kaspersky Antivirus detects this and Hermes IRC (a fork) as Riskware as well.

Can any developers on this project confirm?

Unfortunately this has happened quite often in the past. Some (bad) heuristics seem to think IRC or PircBot are indicators for malware.

VirusTotal seems to be a nice tool to run a variety of virus scanners on an APK. I was thinking about testing whether renaming the library/package can help avoiding those false positives.

After commit 53a921b AVG is the last scanner with a false positive: https://www.virustotal.com/en/file/17d34b0c278f86fb28b9cbe8e43d4b7265298d949961e117cf257bf34891c28a/analysis/1459880897/

PircBot is Java IRCBot framework...
