Problems With Antivirus Software

Because of the close integration with the host operating system, some actions performed by the Parallels Desktop processes may be detected as malicious by the antivirus software installed on your Mac.

However, such actions are necessary to ensure the proper functioning of Parallels Desktop. That is why you should prevent the antivirus software from blocking them. If you do not want the alerts to appear in future, perform a full system scan using the antivirus software and add these processes to the list of trusted ones if no viruses are detected. To find out how to do it, refer to your antivirus software Help.

Note: The names of Parallels Desktop processes usually start with prl or parallels .
