This is my first post, so please be gentle!
Last year I deleted an unknown program to me, Daylite 4, from my MacBook Pro (10.10.5).
Since then I believed it was gone, but I recently looked at my Activity Monitor to see the processes causing my internet to be slow, and some other issues.., only to find the process "postgres" running from User "???" Literally, just that.
I traced it to a section of my Application Support that must have been hidden because there was a laundry list of logs and executable files that I deleted.
I then went to my firewall to find there were 3 filters allowing processes from DLsomething and DLsomething else and postgress. I got rid of those, and then went to my users to make sure "guest" is turned off, that I have no open users besides me, and that I am admin.
It seems that the process had about 40 gigs of information transferred back and forth from my computer.
Is it possible someone has compromised this computer, or is this just par for the course?
Thank you.
