[QUOTE="Serg123, post: 1805737, member: 401073"] Hi I'm a bit nervous about what happened this morning with my MBP. First of all I have noticed a noise of the spinning cooler, which was pretty unusual and when I opened a lid I saw to my great surprise the Guest User session open. I have never used the Guest account myself and I'm absolutely sure that no one had physical access to my computer last night. I noticed that the built-in camera green light was on! When I started the resources monitor to find out why the cooler is on - I saw no process actively using CPU apart from the monitor itself. However the cooler was still spinning at a very high speed which I can recognize by the noise it was producing. I have downloaded and run a number of anti-malware and anti-virus apps including Avast, Malwarebytes, KnockKnock; but they didn't find anything. Could someone please shed a light on what could have caused this weird behavior of the MBP or what I could check to get more information about the incident. Cheers, [/QUOTE]
