[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1403660"] If I were you I would back up my files immediately and ERASE that hard drive (1-pass with zeros, even!). Then I would install a fresh copy of Lion, put back your files and buy any of the iLife apps you need from the Mac App Store ($15 each). Until then, that Mac isn't really yours, and you have no idea what the previous owner may have installed in terms of keyloggers or other malicious software. Maybe nothing, but why even take the chance when its so cheap to properly set up YOUR computer? [/QUOTE]
