After a lot of googling and trying I am still left clueless and am hoping to find some answers here now.
About a week ago I wanted to play 'rocket mania' again (web based) and I was prompted that my java is not up-to-date ... I followed the instructions from a reliable website (well .. ) and something did not 'feel' right .. eventually I got my game to run ...
But ever since then, about every 60 minutes I barely notice a prompt window popping up. The only way to capture it was with a 240fps camera. It asks me
'Do you want the application 'java' to accept incoming network connections' ... and then deny / allow .. but i do not even have time to click anything, my guess it allows itself.
I have googled this and either there is talk about some older java-virus (?) that popped up about a year ago and Apple addressed that with a security update or someone even said 'this is just how it is ...
Now I sometimes see a pop-under window for some spam ads, my connection is overall wonky (but that could also be my location) .. I ran Sophos to scan for viruses. I tried MacScan, until I read I should NOT use this (but have not found any alternative). There is nothing named mackeeper in my system.
Running 10.8.4
