I have always created two users on my Macs - an admin and a normal user (without admin rights). I always work with the normal user - when installing from this user, I am asked for the name and password of the admin, which always works. But in this case (installation SoftmakerOffice) it didn't help! Even after switching to admin, it couldn't help. Only the complete uninstallation of Malwarebytes helped. A similar picture presented itself when I reinstalled Malwarebytes (which I started with the download package). With the normal user, the installation stopped just before the end, despite entering the admin user + password. Only after logging in as Admin did it work. This is unusual in contrast to other software packages. In the terminal, su admin & sudo also work without any problems!

Addendum: Both Codeweaver/Crossover and Softmaker support told me to disable the virus scanner.

I had run Malwarebytes since I get my M1 Mac Mini in Aug. 2019 - it runs only as trial. In the last few days, Malwarebytes blocked the upgrade of Crossover as well as Softmaker Office 2011. Shooting down the programme in the activity display did not bring any success, it started again immediately - although it is not active (without a licence) as a real-time guard. I then uninstalled Malwarebytes. After upgrading from Softmaker Office 2011, I tried to install the Malwarebytes-Mac-4.18.11.4873.pkg package again, which failed! Whats wrong now? M1 MacMini, Ventura 13.2.1

Only installed kompozer.exe https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/feee2f51df07e055fd81859c224c81f8ddbf960b4d7a2d6e11821bd9d417cffa But there are many exe, dll, jar, etc. in the KompoZer directories, so I zipped all and uploaded them to VirusTotal.

I am aware, this discussion is now somewhat 'academic' - an 'Evil windows.exe' could very well 'edit' the user directory mapped via drive letter in. In my case mapped via drive letter 'Y'. I run only some windows programs that could not compromised via internet. But I test this installable binaries carefully before I install them in Crossover.

Crossover (wine engine) are runable on different OS, as MacOS, Linux, ChromeOS A Windows virus running by Crossover (with wine engine) have access to the user files of the host system (MacOS, Linux, ChromeOS). But have no access not to the host OS self. I think an ransomware encryption virus running on wine could encrypt all user files. https://www.codeweavers.com/crossover

But could run in (with) Crossover (wine)

This is bad for those who use Crossover or wine. This should be scanned too. ~/Library/Application Support/CrossOver/Bottles

This is the Virustotal Link to this --> So I installed the kompozer-0.8b3.de.win32.exe version (no warning in VirusTotal) in Crossover. After installing zipped the installed KompoZer 'windows' directory and test them with VirusTotal. https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/43e6618a33731932b3062861a0ad337e2b73e19dc50412dfb55d9e766e347398

I don't found this scan option in my Malwarebytes.app - but I think VirusTotal use them!

My local Malwarebytes.app ver 4.16.7 don't found anything!

WYSIWYG Web-Editor Kompozer is an old program and don't run as App on new only 64 bit Macs in Mac version, it's only a 32 bit program. So I installed them as Windows App with Crossover. Before I test the downloaded files on VirusTotal For the kompozer-0.8b3.de.win32.zip ver I get this warning Jiangmi Trojan.Generic.gesgj So I installed the kompozer-0.8b3.de.win32.exe version (no warning in VirusTotal) in Crossover. After installing zipped the installed KompoZer 'windows' directory and test them with VirusTotal. Now I get this warnings: Jiangmin Trojan.Generic.gesgj Malwarebytes Malware.Heuristic.1001 How I could upload this zipped file for test to you? PS: The Linux version kompozer-0.8b3.de.gcc4.2-i686.tar.gz get this warning Bkav Pro VEX14F4.Webshell My Mac: M1 Mac Mini, Monterey 12.5.1 Nice greetings Fred
