I was just looking at my console and i noticed a log that says "Google Chrome Helper EH: Unsure about the internals of CFAllocater but going to patch anyway". What does this mean? Is this bad? It is showing up every second on my console. There is also some kernel log that keeps saying disabled succeeded and enabled succeeded.

Chrome tends to update itself on the fly and will prompt for a restart when it's done. You must have be looking at the output of that. If you close of Chrome and restart it, do those messages continue?

Unless something is wrong, it's best not to worry about what's happening with log files. Many developers will log things even if nothing is wrong (I for one am an "over logger" when I have my apps log).

You know how people always look up medical issues online and then somehow think they have cancer? It's the same idea with logs. If you look at them when nothing is wrong, you'll end up thinking something has gone wrong (or is about to). Enjoy the application as it is.

Yup that's my problem. I get serious paranoia from this and also sometimes looking at activity monitor. I am also currently paranoid that there's something wrong with my Mac or it's not running to full potential because of strange incidents that have happened in the past(a freeze, changing of the NFS directory name and record name, etc.)
