I'm just curious how one app can delete the resident and running components of another app. That action would seem to be a breach of the sandbox approach and could represent a security "hole" for a malicious operator. Smuggle into an otherwise innocent application the ability to stop and delete a security component, thereby making the Mac less secure. If an app can kill a component of iWeb, it could be configured to kill a component of, say, any stay-resident malware app. I thought Apple didn't let apps do that to each other. I guess macOS isn't as secure as I thought.</blockquote>
