Background processes Ventura 13.1 Hi. I am getting messages from some "Ken Heglund" program initiating background processes. I seem unable to identify where/what Ken Heglund is related to, - in activity monitor nothing. I have ticked off and on Ken Heglund in background process overview - but I can not map it to where and why and what Ken Heglund do for me.... Lost in a lot of programs I am seldomly using, but are required now and then. Talked with Apple support without any result. Message translated by me- "Background objects added Software from Ken Heglund added objects that run in background. You can admin these in "Log on objects settings"."

Deciphering the EtreCheck report Hello everyone, Recently thought it will be good check my MacBook Pro (Catalina 10.15.5) for any malware. Saw that EntreCheck is a good utility to run for the purpose. Its report is below. The top concern raised was that there is a runaway process: "Top Processes Snapshot by CPU: Process (count) CPU (Source - Location) Other processes 83.87 % (?)" Should I be concerned? How do I find out what the runaway process is/was? Any help in deciphering the report will be much appreciated! Thanks.

Not definitive by any means, but the only match I could find to that sequence is a function used by Forex, a stock trading company.
