[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1807624, member: 396914"] Get rid of Avast. It's doing nothing and you don't need it. No viruses exist for the Mac at this time. Are these files you are using the actual programs or the installers? There are multiple ways to install software on the Mac and one of them is to run installation software that often has the same name as the app being installed. Oh, and the red button doesn't always close down an app, it just pushes the app into the background. To close use the application menu system or CMD-Q to shut the app down completely. [/QUOTE]
