What did your MBP say to you exactly? Can you make a screenshot and attach it to your next post?
Do you maybe have Little Snitch installed? Check your Applications folder, maybe you can make a screenshot or two of it too.

What kind of network are you on? Is it a home network, business, school, public?

Does it only happen there?

And what about this?

Likely nothing to worry about usually, BUT you should 'enable' the internal Firewall I would think..

System Preferences > Security > Firewall Tab > Enable

I doubt you will see any such message again.. 😉

first time it ever happened to me.

And what about this?

just happened once but next time it comes up i’ll make sure to take a snap shot of it.

I thought it was like someone trying to get in to your mbp or comp or something like wanting to get into ur files to look?! Is it like that?

Some one can't just pop in and mess with your files they have to authenticate with your password.

Wow really?

Everyone CALM DOWN.

OP which one did you get:

Either way it's not anything to be seriously concerned about.
