I did not even know what "centrify" was, so I did not know whether I should care or not. Also, even if I should not care about it, I do not know how to stop it from running. Mainly I am concerned because it dominates my Console logs. These same 15 lines of "error messages" are repeating every 5 or 10 seconds, so it is difficult to see any other messages because they are buried in millions of lines of centrify/McAfee messages. As for McAfee, is this software generally considered helpful, hurtful, or just useless? How do I remove the centrify software? Also, I do not believe I have a way to remove the McAfee software, as I do not see a McAfee package or a McAfee uninstaller. This was installed by the computer support folks, so I guess I will have to ask them to remove it (and I'm sure they will then want to install a Lion version).
