Description

When a Bazaar APK audit finds two APKs with matching package names and versions but are not perfect matches of each other, it should present this information to the user in a useful way. It should include information as well as easy ways to trigger actions to take to improve the situation (uninstall APK, "freeze" APK, query online data sources, etc)

one option is to check virustotal.com for their virus scan info. They have a public API:
https://www.virustotal.com/en/documentation/public-api/

It requires an API key, which is tied to a user login. We could include one by default, but that might rapidly overwhelm the virustotal rate limiting. That might violate the terms of service too.
