[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1626935, member: 182015"] drgrafix, In your original Etrecheck, I saw two possible issues. First, your /etc/hosts file has been modified. No problem if you did this to identify other computers on your local network. If that's not the case, you should copy and paste it here for us to look at. You need to use the Terminal or Go > Go to folder menu to see it. Changes to this file can block OS X from getting automatic xProtect malware detection updates. Second, you have ArcSoft marketing adware called ConnectService.app installed. It urges you to buy new software. Uninstall like this: [url=http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/42519/what-is-connectservice-app]lion - What is 'connectservice.app' - Ask Different[/url] [/QUOTE]
