Hi all,

Sorry I did not get back to this sooner.

I think I got the problem at least under control, the message in question is gone!

I downloaded a trial version of a malware/virus software and run it. It found 12 issues which however not posing threat, were quarantined.

The “ExploreUnitd” will damage your computer.? message stoped popping up and as far as I know, the quarantined items are fine where they are for know.

Hope it helps..


Gregorio
