I'm ALREADY running MacAfee Security Center. Thanks!It's always a good idea to regularly run anti-malware AND anti-virus programs. Just because your computer SEEMS non-infected, doesn't mean it isn't. BUT, UNLESS you pick up a virus, you don't need to post your logs here.Alrighty, thanks! I've had computers get infected before and figured anything I can do to prevent the nightmare is worth it.
