A message saying bash 80X24 has appeared on my screen. It has my last login time and then it goes on to say unknown-88-63-df-a7-77-13: and then a funny symbol I can't type followed by my name. Any idea what this is, why it has appeared and if it is a problem.
Could it be to do with the Shockwave virus I have heard about?
iMac, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5)
More info.
A more common look to the message includes the Computer Name like this:-
The ~ is a Tilde symbol and on English keyboard is the upper case character on the key next to the left hand Shift key.

That's rather interesting. Here on the State side, the "~" is between the "esc" and "tab" key and to the left the the "1" key.
Ralph, do you have an Apple keyboard or some other KB? Whats the model number?

It is the terminal window.
Right click it's icon in the Dock and select "Quit".
If terminal opens at every login, control click it's icon in the Dock,options and uncheck "Open at Login".
Thank you Dominic.
