[QUOTE="New2TheMac, post: 1035506, member: 139905"] If the ClamXav definitions website was compromised though would it be possible to have downloaded a trojan or keylogger when I updated the definitions? I know you need to enter your password to install one of the few trojans out there for the Mac, but the thing is when I installed ClamXav I naturally had to enter my password. I don't know how to phrase it exactly, but since I entered my password for ClamXav before and if the definition website was hacked could system files have been modified since ClamXav had that permission when I installed it? I've also noticed something else that's a little strange. I'm using Firefox for my web browser and when I click on a link to go to another page the touchpad icon is at first the finger point icon since I'm hovering over the link, and then it does this quick blink thing where the icon turned to the black arrow and maybe then back to the finger point icon. Then when it goes to the page the link directs to it's the black arrow icon. I don't know if it fully makes sense but it's like the icon changes to what it will be like when clicking on the next page and sort of stutters between what it looks like before clicking the link.
