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
the host computer.
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.
