The file has been identified by CyberByte as being infected. It is /Library/Preferences/.3FAD0F65-FC6E-4889-B975-B96CBF807B78, and is the only file in that directory with a name in that format. It was created late at nignt on 10/24/18. I have a saved copy, so it can be restored if its removal causes problems. -- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ | Brian Gordon -->briang@panix.com<-- brian dot gordon at cox dot net | + bgordon@aol.com Bass: NSC Frank Thorne + -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
