[QUOTE="newmacuser09, post: 1038348, member: 151549"] My virus scan always reports there is a corrupt file at this location (though not a threat): private/var/folders/1T/1Tvfgmc8HrmHsNViXvqaw++++TI/-Caches-/com.apple.SoftwareUpdate/swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/35/06/061-7751/XRL2mDyBNv4TyFcBmKp28wqQ6rKcFgYm7t/CoreFP.tar. I tried to open it and see what it is. It seems like it's some sort of link for an obscene pop up. I don't know how it found its way into my mac as I never visit those sites (could be from my PC files, I guess). I tried to get rid of the file. But the trash bin won't allow me to delete this. It keeps saying there are other files in use. What exactly is this tar. thing? Can or should I get rid of it (I'm annoyed by the fact that it's reported as an error every time)? How? Thanks. [/QUOTE]
