Unknown background file.

Hello community


I've got a notification from this background file called "sh" and I don't know if I should be worried. Anyone have experience with it? Could it be a potentially a virus?

sh in the bin directory is the command-line shell, used to parse and run commands in Terminal.


It should not be in your login Items unless you use Terminal all the time, which is unlikely.


System preferences > Accounts > <youraccount> login Items...


select that item and use the minus [-] below the box to remove.
