Norton 360 Deluxe may not be the cheapest option to protect a Mac but it does an excellent job with comprehensive malware scanning, real-time monitoring and a global VPN.

I gather that it may be some sort of public key file used by VMWare Tools, data rather than an executable.Included cloud storage doesn’t work with Macs Placing it in quarantine appears to have had no effect on Fusion. The file is located in the VMWare Fusion isoimages folder, so it may be an installation source rather than an active part of the app. This looks to me as though it might be a false positive.

Nothing was found at the scheduled full scan on 5/1/17, but malware was reported immediately after the definitions update the evening of 5/7/17.
