[QUOTE="abennink, post: 1089583, member: 166995"] Hello, I recently came back to my computer after leaving it idle for awhile and saw several windows open that contained a message along the lines of "Do you wish to allow (random 4 digit letter string) access to your..." with the option of allowing or denying. I chose deny each time, but there were two changes to my computer that occurred. The first is that my Safari web history prior to that day had been cleared, that is, the earliest history I have is the few sites I visited before I noticed the other change: that the date had been changed, to Dec 31st of either 2000 or 2010. These are the only changes I've noticed, but this just happened this week and I want to nip it in the bud. I downloaded iAntiVirus from download.com and the scan came back clean. I downloaded about 20 files via AcQuisition, a Gnutella based P2P client, but have deleted those files as well as the AQ app. I am wondering if there is anything else i need to do or any other ways to find out what may have happened or what has yet to happen. I will check back regularly to answer any questions I may not have covered here. Thanks very much for helping. Andrew [/QUOTE]
