#31095: gimp install freezes machine, possible trojan?
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
Reporter: john.carlson3@… | Owner: macports-tickets@…
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: High | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version: 2.0.2
Keywords: trojan? | Port: gimp
-----------------------------------------+----------------------------------
I was installing gimp with port install gimp. It was going through
dependencies, so I stepped away from the machine. When I came back, the
machine was frozen, and I had to unplug it to get it going again. Later
I got the message below (truncated) from my ISP, Today at 10:05am. The
last date I can see any the file in /opt/local is 1 Sep 13:15. When I
booted up, it said Norton Antivirus auto-protect was turned off. Hmm.
After installing Norton Firewall today, I am going through logs and file
system stuff to try to figure out what happened.
