Strange web traffic when launching Designer


Recommended Posts

Every now and then when I launch Designer (as long as I have the Web Panel enabled to launch at each start), I get these warnings from Avast Web Security show.

 

If I disable the checkbox "Show this panel at startup", these messages no longer appear.

 

Some thing odd seems to be happening here..

Welcome to the forums d0nk3y!

 

It's more than likely you have some adware/malware installed in Safari. The startup panel will connect to the internet to check for updated content - this most probably uses com.apple.webkit, which is also used by Safari and other browsers.

 

You could give this link a read: Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac
