Yes, it has to be cleaned a bit:

1. You have WesternDigital softwares installed and running constantly. This software is creating problems, and it may cause data loss on the external disk. There is a link where you should be able to find the uninstaller:

http://www.wdc.com/wdproducts/wdsmartwareupdate/index.asp

If you do not find it or it will not uninstall, download Appcleaner (Free) from

www.freemacsoft.net/appcleaner/

and do the uninstall with it.

If you do not succeed, we will uninstall by hand.

Note: the external disk itself is OK, but when possible copy all data and reformat it.

2. Uninstall Growl.

3. Update Java.

4. You probably need the Vodafone drivers ? If not uninstall the Vodafone apps.

Same for T-mobile...

5. In Finder go to MacintoshHD /Library/LaunchDaemons/ folder and delete

com.adobe.SwitchBoard.plist

then look in this folder if the Westerndigital entries are still there, if so, dlete them also:

com.wdc.WDDMservice.plist and

com.WesternDigital.WDSmartWareD.plist

6. Restart, empty the trash bin.

make a new etrecheck list.
