We will help you sort out the issue.

Are you able to use the application when the Ransomware component is turned off?

Did you get any error message when you try to access Open office?

Keep us posted.

Good afternoon,

Is it possible for me to make a copy of this file/ addresses? Or do I have to delete it and start all over again?
This never happened to me, first there was phishing and now this.
Hope you can help.
Els.

Did you get my message, it disappeared all of the sudden.

I don't know how to unable the Ransomware component. I've been trying very hard. Like the history previously it's the only file I can't open. I also gave the advice from Apple.
Thanks for your help, Els
