[QUOTE="Serg123, post: 1805739, member: 401073"] Thanks for the reply. I have already disabled the Guest Account, which by the way might not work under High Sierra as explained in this article: [url]https://www.techradar.com/how-to/macos-1013-high-sierra-problems-how-to-fix-them[/url] I did not install any suspicious programs recently apart from the latest High Sierra update which I have applied 2 days ago :-) But still the circumstances look troubling to me: [LIST] [*]spontaneous Guest login [*]camera light is on [*]high spinning speed of the CPU cooler with no apparent reason [/LIST] I'm just trying to find an innocent reason for all that to make myself confident that my computer was not compromised.
