Lee, Thanks for your input. I was in the program that offers the training for so many different program, Final Cut Pro, Pro Logic, Photoshop, iMovie, etc. etc. I clicked on the "check for updates" tab to see if they had any updates to the programs I had already purchased.
I immediately got a dialogue saying: "MacProVideo" would like permission to your keychains and I was given the "allow", "deny" and one other choice. Since I had initiated the search I felt comfortable until after I did it and then I felt sick. It may have been O.K. but until I know for sure I have shut down the two computers downstairs (but way too late if I was having info. sucked from my machines) and I am only using the laptop where I have changed the password to the system. They seem like a very reputable site but who knows? http://www.macprovideo.com/ If you think I am O.K. then I'll not fret.
