Hi all,
this morning, I noticed that Safari kept prompting me to "enable access for assistive devices". A Universal Access window would pop up asking me to open Universal Access and click the box. I am NOT using Adobe Connect. Any idea what could be causing this?
Hi...
Open System Preferences > Universal Access
Select the box next to: Enable access for assistive devices then deselect it.
Now go to System Preferences > Sharing
Deselect: Screen Sharing
Restart your Mac.

Safari itself doesn't give that prompt. Some third-party add-on that you installed is doing it, and you should know what it is before you change any settings. Enabling "assistive devices" could potentially allow any process to act as a keylogger. In the very unlikely, but not impossible, event that you installed some new kind of trojan, you may be unwittingly helping the attacker.
You're right Linc. I installed a Macworld reccomended application called CheatSheet and it was doing the prompting. I trashed it and now I'm not getting the prompt. Thanks for the headsup and advice.
