I have recently discovered two new programs in my dock: windows Remote Desktop connection and Microsoft document connection. I have never installed these products. I am the only person with access to my MacBook. Has anyone else ever come across this problem or have any ideas if there is other software that will install these two programs independently? It's quite worrying!
MacBook Pro (15-inch Mid 2010), Mac OS X (10.6.8)
Did you recently install Microsoft Office? These applications are installed when Microsoft Office is installed.
Yes I installed Office 2011 in early March but these two icons have only appeared in my dock since the last two days..... That has me a little worried. Any ideas? Thanks.
That's odd. Those are actually standard applications that are part of Office 2011. Perhaps a recent update put them back? They usually do show up in the dock after installing Office 2011. That's one thing I hate about installing that... half my dock is full of Microsoft stuff. I always just remove them from the dock. It would be an odd coincidence for standard Office applications to show up in your dock only a month or so after you installed Office.
Yes, it is very odd! That's why I thought I would ask here since I haven't run any office updates recently either... I'm quite finicky when it comes to security so this surprised me quite a bit!
They definitely weren't in the dock when I first installed office :/
Windows Remote Desktop connection installed itself
