Q: Has Mac been remotely hacked???

Using 3rd party CCleaner applications Repair Permissions, I get a WARNING: SUID File "System/Library/Core Services/Remote Management/ARDAgent.app/contents/Mac OS/ARDAgent" has been modified and can not be repaired. Does this mean that my Mac has been hacked from remote access??

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.4), iPhoto

A:

First of all, please uninstall CCleaner. Those apps can damage OS X if they delete a wrong file.

Apart from that, that permission is one of the permissions you can ignore, so nothing happens with your iMac > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1448
