If an app is signed by the company that created it then you can be sure you're using an unadulterated version of the software. What is code signing, you ask? In short, it's a cryptographic way to validate that an app has not been tampered with. (It's almost like Citrix is trying to make its apps sound shady!) Other companies are also seeing an impact to older apps, such as An圜onnect's vpnagentd.Īs was the case with a similar issue affecting HP printers last year, it's all about code signing. Among them are two other Citrix apps, ServiceRecords and AuthManager_Mac. Unfortunately, the name "ReceiverHelper" fits right in. All of these adware names are pretty generic, revealing nothing about what they're actually supposed to be doing. There has been a fair bit of Mac adware going around lately with odd two-word names, like StandardBoost or ActivityInput. Not only is macOS apparently saying that it is, but the name is highly suspicious. Of course, if you thought that this was malware, we'd have to forgive you. Only some older versions of the software are causing problems.
Not all Citrix software is being flagged as malicious, fortunately. It is a component of Citrix, which is legitimate software made by the company of the same name. If you're one of the affected folks, the good news is that this isn't malicious at all.
