I just noticed, in the "firewall" tab of the sharing preferences, a 3rd party service item that I did not install/add. Searching my harddrive reveals no file that matches this service.
It was on (allowing access to my computer through a specific port). I've since turned it off and replaced my passwords etc.
how can i look into the history of my machine to find out where this thing came from and what it's been doing???
i recently installed Xgrid. and the hotmail mail.app plugin. not sure if these have anything to do with this.
