[QUOTE="philappleton, post: 1758195, member: 392340"] Hi Harryb, Thanks again for your reply, it is very much appreciated. The padlock is not as you would suggest in your link. Malwarebytes also still doesn't find any problems and I would agree that there are no virusses which is why I'm struggling to find why this is happening. One reason why I have felt my system is being hacked rather than any Malware or Virus is because the problems I have all seem to be focussed on messing me around and then stopping me reaching out for help, almost as if someone can see my screen as I'm using my Mac which is a scary thought indeed. Even when signing up to this forum I had the email asking me to confirm my email address by clicking the link which I did but it only took me back to my inbox and when I clicked on it then when logging back in to the forum it said I hadn't confirmed my email address and I have a screen recording of that happening if that would be okay to share here? The only way I managed to confirm my email address was to copy the text of the link and paste it in to the browser. As I've mentioned before my screen recordings are MP4 and okay when done but later corrupt for no reason unless I manage to save the clip to my Google Drive where it then stays safe and playable. Also when using QuickTime to trim the clip / screen recording to the part that is of interest it has stopped me saving the clip to the Desktop saying I don't have access even though I'm the only user and get info shows I have full read write access. QuickTime as we know is part of the Mac OS and not even a downloaded app! Again the issue here seems too focused on stopping me reach out for help and I have all these problems screen recorded for proof if someone just wouldn't mind having a quick look rather than just dismiss what I am saying? What really threw me the other day was when trying to upload one of my screen recordings to my Google Drive from my Mac it kept coming up with network error even though there were no network errors reported by my network monitor app or router. So next I airdropped the clip from my Mac to my iPhone 7 which airdropped okay but when I selected that video clip and then the rectangle box with arrow for my options of what to do with the clip then normally I get 9 different options and Google Drive is one of the options however this time all my options had disappeared except 1 option of YouTube. Again I have screenshots of that. Then later when I had finally managed to upload the clip from my Mac to Google Drive then when I selected it on my iPhone suddenly all my 9 options including google drive were back and I have the screenshots again to show this. It all seems to coincidental to me to just be coincidence and like I say I'm just asking for help and would ask some experts to view some of the screen recordings of what has been going on before being too judgemental and if it is something I am doing wrong then please tell me / help me? It's got to the point now with Apple Senior Advisors whilst they admit in an email it is unexpected behaviour they just want to keep wiping the system clean and fresh install of Mac OS even though that has been done twice with no improvements and of course every time that is done it takes several hours rebuilding iTunes etc. Thanks again for your time and help Regards Phil [/QUOTE]
