Hi,

Webroot antivirus reports Hazel as containing ransomware (also the Hazel installer is reported). The report states that there is a threat "OSX.Ransomware.KeRanger.1.r" in these files. Probably a false positive, but it still renders Hazel unusable on my system. Webroot is managed centrally, so I cannot make any adjustments to settings, or whitelist any files myself.

Is this still happening? When this first popped up last week, it appeared to be a false positive as it was also flagging other apps like the High Sierra installer. If you restore the files that WebRoot quarantined, zip up the prefPane and email it in, I can take a look to make sure it wasn't tampered with though I suspect it isn't, based on the previous reports I've dealt with.
