[QUOTE="ThatITGuy, post: 1536230, member: 184900"] [b]Thank You[/b] I downloaded and used "Find Any File" and did a "begins with" and "case sensitive" search for "Q" (capital letter). It found the install package "Q-0.9.0a89.dmg" which identifies itself as a 10 meg Disk Image, created (I guess by the original developer - not by me) on Monday, 3 January 2011 10:20 PM. It may have been created by the original developer in 2011, but it was obviously downloaded on the back of some other program since last week (when I did the Mountain Lion? and ooVoo? updates; or when my wife went to a particular educational web site that she had been to safely previously? as it only started happening after then) and only started to want to install in the last week. Anyway I have now deleted it to Trash and I am about to do a secure delete with Ccleaner - so hopefully that is it and my issues will be over. Google shows a lot of talk about this and "Growl" both being programs that are often downloaded and installed by piggy-backing (back dooring) on other legitimate programs without the user's express permission or knowledge. Anyway [B]chscag[/B] thank you for your suggestion about using "Find Any File" Cheers [/QUOTE]
