    Hi,

    The attached window opened up on my screen this morning and I blocked it. Does anyone know if this is legitimate or some hacker trying to break in to my Parallels vm?

  2. Hi, really strange behavior, if you haven't met this computer name before it's a good design to block connection.
    Did you start your antivirus after this message?

    Hi,
    I have my antivirus software running all the time, both on the Mac and W10 vm. Also, this is not the first time this has happened but it is the first time I've taken a screen shot and posted it. So I'm not sure if it's the same person.
    Do you have any suggestions other than antivirus software?
    Thanks.

    Hello Maria,

    Since I changed my password the other day there have not been any further incidents. OTOH, the latest incident was the third time it happened, spaced several weeks apart.

    I will let you know if it happens again.
