nllToolsSVC.exe versucht auf MS Edge-Cookies zuzugreifen

Diese Meldung kam nach einem vollständigem Systemscan.

Bild hängt an.

Traut Norton sich hier selbst nicht ?

oder wie muss ich das verstehen

Was this a one-time event?
Was your machine quiet during full scan?
Were you running Edge during full scan?

Maybe, during a full scan. Norton processes came close to your Edge cookies.
Maybe, during a Norton full scan. Norton processes bumped into Edge built-in … Security, Tracking prevention, Privacy protections.

Do you Continue blocking or Allow Norton to “scan” your Edge cookies?

Edge cookies are stored with AppData
Malware frequently target and use the AppData folder on Windows systems. Since it’s often writable without administrative privileges and is a hidden directory, malware can easily use it to hide, run, and collect sensitive data.

All: What Windows version are we discussing? This is the easiest way to view the cookies stored in MS Edge:

When going to the directory where these are stored and attempting to open the cookie file, I instantly got the following right hand corner popup. This tells us these folders are being protected by Norton. Norton wanting access to this via Edge is at least “questionable” for that reason.

You attempted to open “Cookies”

Did you use…Open with?

Yes!! You an read the contents of “file” types using Wordpad. My idea was to verify these folders are actually being protected from being tampered with, vice actually reading its content.

SA

Yes!! Nothing new there. To access these files and read its content, user intervention is required.
