ransomware protection images count increasing

Hello,

I was thinking yes, this test image in a folder with photos or images is a great idea, BUT! Somebody explain to me why is there more and more of these?! I already have around 10 such black JPGs on my desktop since you introduced this functionality. This will become really messy soon!

ransomware protection images count increasing

This user contacted us via email and we were able to reproduce this problem when performing a remote screen share. Read below for details if you're running into a similar issue.

  • By default, Syncrify service runs under the Local System Account (LSA) on Windows.
  • When Syncrify was installed, it used the LSA account to create files in the C:\Syncrify\config folder
  • Later, the user switched from LSA to a different account and also restricted permission on the C:\Syncrify folder
  • As a result, the following instance of Syncrify was not able to write to any file in C:\Syncrify\config folder, since the OS would not allow it.
  • This caused the RWP file to get recreated everytime Syncrify was restarted
