Hi Paprin,

That Alert daemon is part of Microsoft Office and other MS APPs.

With all you've done, I think it must need some uninstall/reinstall of your MS Apps.

You might look in the Accounts Pref Pane>Login Items to see if it's there & remove it.

If you let it go, does it start responding again?

Some processes go off and wait for things to happen, and don't respond to the OS querying it for some lengths of time, so if it does come back on it's own I don't think there's a worry. 🙂

So I uninstall the app and re-intal it. Then I discover how to replicate the alert, it appears when I open Messenger and try to open the e-mail. If I quit the process in the Activity Monitor App the Alert don't appear again no matter what I do, but if a restart the computer, in the trash appears a file named Merp Daemos and the alert appear again. But I don't see any bad effect in the computer when the alert appear so I just let it go jajajaja and now I Know what cause the alert so again thanks
