Permissions not being repaired.

Permissions differ on “System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.plist”; should be -rw-r--r-- ; they are lrw-r--r-- .


The next line says they are repaired. There another line:


Permissions differ on “System/Library/CoreServices/CoreTypes.bundle/Contents/Resources/XProtect.meta.plist”; should be -rw-r--r-- ; they are lrw-r--r-- .


Disk utility reports both are repaired.


I immediately run Permissions repair and the same messages come up, every time.


What is this? I am thinking XProtect is something I don't want messed with?

Is this how Google patches the system so users cannot stop the constant running of their update software?


Any enlightening response appreciated.

Mac Pro, OS X 10.10
