Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client will damage your computer

General News

Summary

As part of Apples efforts to hamper the proliferation of dubious applications within its ecosystem, and more specifically on Mac devices, the tech giant introduced several security features. Most of the work is done in the background and whenever a suspicious activity is found, the macOS triggers an alert prompt that is shown to the user. In the vast majority of cases, the message signals that a PUP (Potentially Unwanted Program) has managed to sneak on the Mac and it should be removed as soon as possible. However, under certain conditions, the macOS may flag even legitimate applications and show this message incorrectly This is exactly what has happened to users who have encountered the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client will damage your computer warning. If you do not have the Cisco AnyConnect Secure Mobility Client installed while seeing this warning prompt, then things could be a bit more serious.
