    Does anyone know of a good way to check whether my Mac is infected with this (or any other) malware programs? I rarely, if ever, download unknown programs, and my OS is always up-t…

    In this case, money you should pay for bread at a supermarket can be considered a "paywall and discrimination against the poor". There could be couple of reasons why instinctively …

    It's a known issue related to having many nonstandard files in /usr/local or something like that. Eg. If you are using brew. Google for it, or just wait patiently, it should finish…

    Thanks - I stand corrected, I didn't know about that accident. Still, it wouldn't be a "failure" under GP's original definition: "failure" as in "it explodes and everybody dies" :)…
