Hi all-

I went to open up a few files on a USB Drive from a friend and all of a sudden Safari popped up with 3 windows, one titled with a website I don't recognize, a second saying "Error Detected" and the third called "PerformaceOptimizer". I quickly closed them out, removed the device, and restarted my computer. I looked at Activity Monitor to see if I could identify anything fishy. Granted, there are a number of processes that I don't recognize, but the only thing that stood out to me was one that says "coreaudiod (Not Responding)" . A quick search reveals that this is a common problem and not likely caused by this.

I'm running a Powerbook G4. Nothing appears to be running differently, the only reason this concerns me is because this is an experience I've had on a PC before but Never on my Mac. Anyone know what's up with this? Is there anything I should check to ensure nothing was downloaded/changed on my system?
