Today my Mac, macOS 14.4.1, came up with an virusalert while running Softwareupdate to install the new XProtectfiles, 2192 and 131!

What is the Problem?

Same issue here.
Curious how to deal with this.

I also got this alert, but not while (intentionally anyway…) running an update. Just a user, no expert. Can't find the .pkg-file the alert refers to. Also can't reach F-Secure via phone (in Holland) or chat.

Yesterday evening I run Softwareupdate on my MBA and it was successful. Today I run it on my MBP and got the virusalert from Fsecure.

I understand that receiving an alert about your device can be concerning. However, I want to reassure you that despite the alert, your device is not exposed to any danger.

Your concern has been duly noted and forwarded to our malware department for thorough investigation.

We are currently waiting for the results of their evaluation.

Please be assured that we are taking this matter seriously and are committed to providing a quick solution.

We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to address this issue. If you have any further questions or concerns in the meantime, please feel free to reach out.
