Started a scan last night before I went to sleep, and still running this morning, about 8 hours later. Bitdefender says that it has scanned over 18 milllion files at this point, still in the /Volumes/.timemachine hierarchy.

I'm also getting these "Web Threat Blocked, Phishing attempt"'s for the following web page. Happens a few times a day: rc.rlcdn.com/451689.html I see a reply above that indicates that I must be going to some web site fairly frequently that has a link to the above URL or a ****** that I'm somehow executing is trying to take…
