    Hello @Smarti007

    I received confirmation that we were dealing with a false positive case.
    The appropriate changes have already been made and the file should no longer be considered a threat.
    Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention.

    Have a good one!

    Hello @Smarti007

    We welcome you to our forum and thank you for your post.

    First of all, we would like to point out that you do not need to delete this file from your computer. It is currently blocked.

    At the moment our security specialists are analyzing it. All indications are that it is part of a macOS upgrade that has been blocked due to its specific structure. We are currently waiting for the results of the tests and will soon inform you of the actions that should be taken as a result.

    So please be patient for a little while longer, but thoroughness and meticulousness is essential in such cases.

    Have a good one!

    Hi

    I had the same warning and blocking. Do I need to take any action now that the file is no longer considered a threat?

    I understood from the above that it is part of the Mac OS update. Do I need to do anything for Mac OS to work correctly or is the file restored/unblocked automatically?

    Best regards

    Karl
