[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1898849, member: 204485"] No, not ridiculous to point our horsa and when you talk about "people" you are referring to me. I too read the above article but it is no more helpful than the one I quoted. The point is, a deamon is a system process, hardly rogue, is most likely related to the power circuit /battery which the OP recently had "serviced" and can be quit from AM although might likely restart if required. In all cases I have been able to find including the above it ceased by itself after a few days. On the other hand there is this reference to PowerLog a PUA akin to adware (not a virus). It seems less likely to be the culprit but might warrant investigation if the issue does not resolve on its own. It seems unlikely that it would appear in AM as a deamon but these days who knows.
