detection of Generic.PY.Ferret.D.****** in uuidtext folder ?

NeedInfo

Dear all, thanks for this community on Mac. I really enjoy Bitdefender Security, but I got strange symptoms last week with my iMac.

At the end of a Fullscan (12th November2025) (iMac-ventura) finishing with “no threat detected”, I got notification : "Generic.Py.Ferret.D.E8127119" located in”/private/var/db/uuidtext/1C/10E60806B4310DB07AD923CB7FFE09” indicated as threat. BitDefedner blocked & removed from the quarantine.

The day after, another Fullscan, finished also with “no thread detected”, but again same notif , with exactly the same file “Generic.Py.Ferret.D.E8127119” in the same folder… blocked and removed again by BitDefender (???)…

So, tried to remove the”/private/var/db/uuidtext/1C/” folder & run Fullscan, finishing again “no threat detected”….but again, notification with this time : “Generic.PY.Ferret.D.1D3536FC” in "/private/var/db/uuidtext/4C/1864EF43993DA2BB07F82DC191EBF4"

So, I decided to switch off the connection, boot in "safe mode” and wanted to make a Fullscan , but BitDefender seems to not start.... Today, the computer is not reconnected as I was absent, and don’t know what is going on with these files in “UUIDtext” folder ? ….

So, I wonder :

-if someone has already encountered this behavior with this "UUIDtext" folder ?

-if there is a way to make a scan in SafeMode( command line or other ) ?

-In view of their location, are these files could be “false positives” or could be really “invisibleFerret” threat signature?

-How to manage these notifications (ignore them?), but I guess that future notifs will appear during my future scans?

-If Bitdefender can detect “Keyloggers” as the InvisibleFerret can deploy this sort of “tool” .

Thank you in advance for your kind answers/reflexions about these "generic.py.ferret.D" in "uuidtext/xx/******"
