Welcome. I'm sorry nobody has posted a response yet.

According to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alienmanfc6.wheresmyandroid&hl=en

If you have an antivirus app that is reporting Where's My Droid as a virus you may need to update your antivirus app. We contacted many app developers about this false report and many have fixed it in recent updates.

In general, it is common for apps like that to trip false positives in antivirus software, which is designed to detect code and behavior commonly found in apps like that since so much malware uses similar code and behavior. There's no need to fear.
