So recently I have had a few issues with my iMac desktop supposedly being hacked into. I did take it to an Apple Store where they had fixed the problem I thought (was quite detailed). I recently returned from having my iMac fixed and free of spyware with Yosemite installed. Last night I had been reinstalling wow onto my Mac with my firewall enabled and a secure wpa2 wireless hidden address with Mac address requirements for connection only enabled.

Then out of the blue I get a prompt message on my Mac asking me to approve of an IP address connection through my network. Thinking it was something to do with my wow download I clicked accept - it was an IP address. However I have recently opened console on my iMac and thought many commands on the framework looked odd. I feel that something is also leeching my network speed. Could someone please help me in deleting this IP address from my firewall or deleting it from accessing my computer. Will reinstalling and deleting the operating system erase the IP address from my computer and firewall. It does not look to be showing up on the firewall. :(
 
Thanks :)

Please help my stupidity.

:(

Question - if I do a reinstall for OS X by making a copy of my current OS X will the firewall and incoming/outgoing network connections be saved onto the copy also? Will any spyware/key-logging be copied from the OS X if it is now in the framework, could it be in the framework?

And - If I end up doing a reinstall completely by download will any spyware/key-logging or incoming/outgoing unauthorised connection be able to take place on my computer while the download is downloading? Will the firewall be down during the download could any attack continue while downloading the OS X?

I had a feeling somehow spyware was getting into my mac through posing as an apple server port or bonjour. Maybe I am just paranoid actually paying attention to the commands in the framework for the first time. :confused:

Reformatting the HDD drive will essentially be erasing it is that correct? :cool:

P.S
I have recently installed 'Little Snitch' program which has helped a lot if not ease my conscience.

Hmmm, I have no clue...
Something about handoff and Airdrop... But I'm not sure what the point of these logs are? Where'd you get them from? It's networking stuff, that much is obvious

Question - if I do a reinstall for OS X by making a copy of my current OS X

What you want to do is download a new copy of OS X from the app store but do not install it. It will then be in your Applications folder. Then get yourself a USB Stick that holds at least 8GB. Then download a copy of DiskMaker and run it. It will then find the OSX install you just downloaded and load it onto the USB stick and prepare it so you can boot from it.

Then when you boot into the installer you will see Utilities in the menu, from there you can run Disk Utility and reformat your HDD. This will erase EVERYTHING on the HDD then continue with the Installer which will then install a fresh copy of OS X.

Naturally you will need to back up all your documents before erasing your HDD. Then reinstall all your apps.

Whether you need to do all this or not, I don't know because I don't understand what the logs you posted mean. But you will have a completely clean system for sure. You should not need to play around with your firewall.
