Android admob quarantined by symantec [closed]

This morning I came back to my computer with this alert, see the image (the lower window is the properties of one of the entries above):

Antivirus notification

How do I investigate this? Can i use the hash presented to see if it is a false positive? Has anyone else encountered this?

Worth noting could be that I havn't changed anything about the android frameworks recently.
