HEY THERE TECHIES :D
What PROCESSes should be considered suspicious?  The names are misleading and so generalized.
~~Webroot shows a mile long list of processes -and- an excessive # of TEMP files on my new iMAC.
(Only Webroot and Microsoft Office for Mac is on it.)

Are these processes in "Monitored" or "Allowed" status?
 
Any process in "Allowed" shoudl be considered safe. I am not that familiar with Macs, but computer systems typically have a number of processes running even with very little installed on them.
