Hello.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned disconnecting your computer from the internet. If you happen to have a ghost, then chances very good are he won't be able to do anything if you unplug from the internet. From there, close down all applications running, crack open activity monitor, and anything that you don't recognize should be investigated and probably switched off.

General security practice on the Mac - Make sure your firewall is on, unless you are using a port keep it closed. UDP Blocking/ Firewall Logging/Stealth Mode should be on too. The most important thing is that you don't visit anything questionable and that you know where your internet is coming from.

If your ghost has any Mac sense at all and if your problem is recurring when you boot up, crack open a terminal and take a look at the file in /etc/crontab. Download Lingon from Peter Borg to investigate what Launchd processes are running. If you have anything that looks like it shouldn't belong, it probably doesn't.

There's more, but I have to go to work.

Thanks,
Brent Anderson
