I didn't know which process to look into so I looked into them all. I didn't see any dd. The word "clear" came from typing it in like you said so I could clear the AM.

That last line is confusing me: MacBook-Pro:~ $ MacBook-Pro:~ (my name)$ clear
Where did the "clear" come from? Without it it looks like a standard prompt that you'd expect when you terminate a process.
If you search /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor for dd, does it come up, i.e. is the process still running?
