[QUOTE="brandconsultant, post: 1011847, member: 146415"] Stupidly, I downloaded a file from a suspicious source. When I went to open the file I thought it was odd because it was in my applications folder and then when I opened it it opened as 'terminal'. (sorry about poor use of terminology). I don't run anti virus software because like many mac users I don't feel vulnerable to virus attacks but this episode has concerned me. Anyway, my question is, is this someone trying to get into my data and should I be worried? How can I find out if they were successful or not? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
