oxygen for mac creates folder in windows programm files

Post by recadmin »

I´am using Oxygen Author 17.1 for Mac.
I´am also using Paralells Desktop with Windows 8.1.
Every day, (it seems so) Oxygen creates a Folder called {0E..........} under c:\Program Files (x86).
Now the Problem is, the Trendmicro realtimescan running on Windows, detects this Files as a Virus.

Why does Oxygen create these Files, and how can i prevent this?

Thanks a lot!

Rainer

Hi,

1. To clarify, your system is a Mac and you are using Parallels Desktop with Windows 8.1 on it. Is that correct?

2. Do you also have Oxygen for Windows installed in Parallels/Windows 8.1?

3. How did you determine that Oxygen creates that folder under "C:\Program Files (x86)"?

4. Note that Oxygen for OS X can't possibly have anything to do with "C:\Program Files (x86)" from your Parallels/Windows environment. Oxygen for OS X runs in the OS X environment, so it isn't even aware of your Parallels/Windows environment.

5. If you are referring to Oxygen for Windows, when Oxygen is run with normal privileges (by default), it can't actually create any files or folders in "C:\Program Files (x86)" or "C:\Program Files". No application can do this without being "Run as administrator". You may have misinterpreted the message.

6. We have received other reports of Trendmicro anti-virus software flagging Oxygen 17.1 as a virus in Windows. That is a false positive and depends on the Trendmicro software. Try to update their software and virus signatures and if the problem persists, contact Trendmicro for support.

Dear Adrian,

no, it is only the Mac-Version installed.
Windows interprets the files probably wrongly as Oxygen files.
Then I have to look any further.

Thank you for your answer.

Rainer
