Late answer, sure, but I think ClamAV is what you want. You also want its bytecode signature file, and to speed things up, you only want that single file (speeds up things quite a bit).

It is the only offline apk scanner i know of, and as for its efficiency i cannot say, but it seems like it is what you are asking for.

An alternative would be to install something like BlueStacks and remap your "Windows shared folder" (through registry) to the folder you have your apk files in, and then run BitDefender on it. BD is by far the most pernickety AV app out there for Android.
[General Questions and Answers] nintendo1889:
I'll have to check out bitdefender (it's also included on virustotal.com)

apkscan.nviso.be seems to be pretty good at analyzing files for suspicious activity, and it also uploads the file to virustotal for you. Then you can copy the sha256 hash into the virustotal's search, to get all the gory details.

anubis.iseclab.org limits files to 8 megabytes.

Another way to avoid malware is:

when installing an update to an already-installed version of an application, it will 99% of the time prompt you to update an existing app. There's been rare instances where some apps do use a new digital signature (for example when spotify had a big security hole, and for awhile there were two apps by spotify in the app store).

One other way to tell, as a final check when launching the apk for installation on the phone: the icon will not have the right icon. I've installed apps before that I thought came from a trusted source, but the icon was not right. In fact, I was considering not posting this publically, so the "bad dudes" would not update their methods.
[General Questions and Answers] nintendo1889:
Another tool I found:

http://andrototal.org/

Although it might be a duplicate of virustotal.
[General Questions and Answers] jcooler:
I just tried out this site. To me, it appears to be the most thorough virus testing site that I have seen. It takes some time for it to complete the scans. mainly because it scans the file with about 7 or 8 different scanning engines. Just just have to keep refreshing the page every few minutes to see if the results have updated.

I will be using this one as my go to site for apk scanning.
[General Questions and Answers] Sushant Rohan:
Just install it on the default emulator in the Android SDK

You can also install your apps on other emulator live bluestacks(best for games), jar of beans(best for rooted app) and windroy(the lightest)

Use google scanning service VirusTotal to scan any app, secondly always use secure source. There are many well reputed apk sites but I personally use apklink.com , on this site required apk file is just a click away and its quite easy as well...

This threads out of date, but it has me thinking I want to use something as mentioned in several replies to OP.

Are there any sites, or apps that can warn me if an .apk (for example) has malware etc.?

[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Malwarebytes can detect malware.

I tried this site and I like it because it goes into a lot of detail after analyzing and sends me a report in email. It was mentioned, and it is still available to use: https://apkscan.nviso.be/

Bit of an odd situation here, I want to upgrade the ROM on my arc, however fastboot devices is returning nothing.

I have used fastboot many times before, and it has been fine.

I can go into fastboot fine on the phone, and it shows up as S1 Boot Fastboot in remove devices, and as Android ADB device in device manager. I have tried this one two different computers with the same outcome.

Hope there isn't something broken in the phone!

Anyone have any idea what might cause this?

Hi,

just bought an Xperia S and now i am realy dissapointet about the fact that there is no Track Info or Caller ID showing on headset Display.... both Sony Devices :(

I know that there is a Implementation of the AVRCP Protocol in Cyanogen mod... it worked on my HTC Sensation.

Maybe anybody know if there are some XS Roms that are supporting this feature?

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
They were inverted for the Nexus as it's better for battery due to the AMOLED screen. All other screens use MORE power displaying black so the normal apps are better

Following you? There have been 4 threads today about fake phones and on all of them I pointed the users to a tool to properly tell them if their phones are real or not (most users don't have a clue their phones are fake). After figuring out their devices are fake, when these users have some common sense, they go somewhere else for answers, since they surely won't find them here.

You come posting questions about fake phones on S III forum and still wait for an answer?

there is no such thing as "chinese S3". Only Samsung makes the S III. Everything else are cheap fakes which illegally use the Samsung branding and whose hardware has absolutely nothing in common with the genuine S III.

Hi guys seems Sony has not fullfilled its promise of giving software update for 12 months & so there is no official rls of jelly bean for the sony devices. All the developers in the thread say without the drivers for these devices there will be no further rls of jb, i myself like sony alot and want sony's version of jelly bean for my phone. So i would like to request the developers here to give ideas and help in building the drivers for these devices and to make a debrand engine jb of sony, i currently own xperia ray and i love my phone it's bravia engine, xLoud engine and especially the camera - that are the features for which i bought this phone. Recently a petition has been signed by the device owners also but that dosen't seem to do any good so as a final way i am asking this of the developers here. I'm not a real developer so i couldn't contribute to the developement but i'm no noob, i promise that if any step was taken i would be the first alpha tester and test the rom to help you guys fix the bugs.

So I bought a couple Note II's for me and my wife on the day it came out. Wirefly had a special price of $249.99 on that first day.

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/10/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-available-for-249-99-from-wirefly-friends/

You had to go to their "Friends and Family" site but it seemed to be the real deal. I had never used them before so I called insted of purchasing the phones online. While I was waiting the price went up to $279.99 and the CSR would not honor the $249.99 price. I was upset but I still wanted to get the phones. So I went ahead w/ my purchase.

My wives phone ended up having an overly sensitive SPen. So we had to send it in for an exchange. The CSR I spoke w/ messed it up and didnt process it right so we had to mail in her phone before we could get the replacement (they are supposed to send you the replacement first and have you put down a deposit).

I wrote a poor review on http://www.resellerratings.com/store/Wirefly and quickly got a response from Wirefly (They actively monitor this site).

The guy from management couldn't have been more helpful. He expedited the shipping of my wife's new phone and got me a credit for the extra $60 I spent. I was very impressed and wanted to let people know what a good experience I ended up w/.

Moral of the story, if you have issues w/ Wirefly use resellerRatings to get somebody from management to help you. The CSRs are useless.
