Ransomware Alert Message
« on: March 16, 2022, 02:51:31 AM »


Hi and good day to all,
I keep getting a ransomware shield message (image above). If the image doesn't show up - the message says that "We'ver just protected your file. /System/Library/Frameworks/FileProvider.framework/Support/fileproviderd is trying to change or delete the file XXX.doc in your protected folder." I tried to delete the fileproviderd file but MacOS does not allow me to delete it since it is a system file. Don't get me wrong, i love that Avast is protecting me but this message keeps popping up every 5-10 minutes and I cannot really get any work done.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Did you ever figure out the reason for the security alert on th providerd message? Should it be allowed?
