After installing em client and doing my first virus scan with Windows defender, I get a Trojan alert (Trojan:Win32/Randet.A!plock) in local/temp/eM Client temporary files/*some_hex_code*.xls
Any idea what this is?
Hello Andy,
Did you download eM Client directly from our website at: http://www.emclient.com/download? If yes, the installation itself will be definitely free of any viruses or other threats.
As this Trojan file is located in Temporary files and it is probably a file opened while using eM Client I would recommend deleting the file with your Antivirus.

Yes, I downloaded directly from the site you mentioned. I did delete the trojan, I am just curious if you know what is stored in that temp file (ocal/temp/eM Client temporary files/*some_hex_code*.xls). Is this an em Client specific file or is this something directly related to one of my emails?
I had just moved from using Thunderbird for my email to em client, and when using Thunderbird I had no virus detected. I got this virus warning very soon after installing em client and downloading all of my imap email.
I have never seen an excel file associated with eM Client, other than an attachment.
