Is CTV APK Safe/Legal to Use on FireStick?

We spotted some security issues with the CTV APK (v2.0.25) file on VirusTotal (check out the picture above). But once you delete the APK file after installing the app, you will get rid of any security threats.

However, CTV is geo-restricted. So, users outside of Canada will need to install ExpressVPN on FireStick and connect it to the Canada server to bypass geo-restrictions.
