Hi,
When I use the file dialog box (from any application) to choose any file, Mac opens up several popup dialog box asking for me to enter my password for my encrypted disk image. Mac opens up several of this popup dialog box. Even if I click "Cancel" on the dialog box, a new ones pop up. I have to close the File Dialog box first, then I can press "Cancel" on the several dialog box that got opened.
While the pop-up password dialog boxes are up, I checked my Activity Monitor, it shows the following (in hierarchy). For example, when I accessed the file dialog box through Disk Utility (dialog box for creating a new disk image):
I was actually planning to attach screen capture images to illustrate. But same problem - when I have the file dialog box opened from Safari, I see those pop-ups again. In the Activity Monitor, the parent process for the diskimages-helper now says "Safari"
I'm using OS X Lion.
Is this a bug in Lion? Is this a malware/virus? Please help!!
Also, when I execute "ps -e | grep diskimages-helper" I get something similar to this:
Thanks again!
