OP Pendragon Joined: Aug 2009 Georgetown, Texas, USA	EtreCheck 2.9.3 just noted these 2 unknown files that may be Adware or Malware (or merely whitelisted): 1. ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macupdate.desktop5.scanner.plist 2. ~/Library/LaunchAgents/.dat.nosync022a.rOuyuR (hidden) But before deleting these 2 files, I would like the advice of the experts here â€˜bouts. FWIW: Malwarebytes does not note this issue. Waddya think, should I consign these two files to the trash or should they be retained? P.S. While doing a bit of sleuthing/exploring on this issue, I discovered that Little Snitch reports EntreCheck tried to make an outgoing connection with Adobe.com. Maybe that's a clue that I need to dump EntreCheck. Last edited by Pendragon; 02/11/16 08:19 PM.
