Security Software

io.Connect Desktop is built using the Electron framework which is based on the Chromium browser project. The renderer processes of Chromium are sandboxed and run at the lowest (untrusted) integrity level which means that the renderer processes in io.Connect Desktop inherit the same integrity level. Due to this fact, the behavior of io.Connect Desktop may sometimes be falsely interpreted by security software as suspicious. This may lead to termination of renderer processes and may impact negatively app performance while an antivirus scan is active.

If you are experiencing performance issues, such as excessive delays during window management operations, it's worth investigating whether the problem isn't caused by your security software. If so, it's recommended to update the settings of your security software and add the io.Connect Desktop executable files to the list of apps allowed to operate without interference.

The following executable files can be safely added as exceptions in your security software settings:

  • io-connect-desktop.exe
  • io-connect-desktop-inner.exe
