Hello,
We have devices with TRAPS and we has found files with strange names as !!!!!!!!* and zzzzz*.
I we try to modify or execute we get anti-ransomware alert.
this files are normal? could be a bug?

This is not a bug and they are supposed to be present. These files aid in Trap's ability to detect Randsomware, which is why you are getting the alert when you attempt to touch them.

@BPry is correct,
these solution make random files that are first and last in directories and any modifidcations to them is considered a ransomware activity, you can hide these files from display by not showing hidden files in the explorer.

PowerShell by default will see hidden files; users by default will not see hidden files. See below

You would be able to see these files from PowerShell if your doing an ls action or something similar.

Hi
Working with Docker Desktop the weird files are NOT ok, bad behavior.
If you step into the windows containers with PowerShell you see the weird files, and not at all manageable.
