harmony endpoint issue files

[Kasuchuli]

Hi!
Im having problems with these files:

We used to find them in "Documents Folder" but now they are on the desktop folder as "hiden files".

Is there a way to change the location of the files?

Regards.

as far as I  understand, those files are there to trick any ransomware attack. The harmony endpoint service monitors those files and if they get deleted, renamed etc means something is going on in your computer. 

What is the problem with them?

Thank you for answering.

To be more precise i wanted to know if the file can be properly moved to a new location.
Now they are in desktop folder as "hiden files" and i want them to be in "Documents Folder", where they used to be located in previous versions.

Regards.

That must be new behavior.
The documentation doesn't mention the Desktop folder here: https://sc1.checkpoint.com/documents/R81.20/SmartEndpoint_OLH/EN/Content/Topics-EPSG-R81.20/Anti-Ran...
Unfortunately, it doesn't appear there is a way to configure what folders are used.

Now i have a clear understanding how these honewpot files work.
