It appears that a false file path has been installed on a home computer many of us use, that reroutes my emails from gmail, to an Entourage mail app that I do not use, and from my dock have no access to….
My question is, is this even possible, and how would I disable the rifling through my private communications? I've also found a doc that seems to direct through console adding pictures to my outgoing emails …What, if any, course of action can I take to disable this false file path, and take control of what's being mailed to me, without it being read by others, and what is possibly being sent out with any email I send?
What's also interesting is this all seems to lead back to the iMovie program, which has a series of hidden folders, containing files which are greyed out so I cannot open them. Yet many of them are names of files of my own, which despite the permissions appearing attributed to me to read and write, I cannot open under my own dock. Any ideas or suggestions? It's as though any file I create gets put there, prob through a console directive but then I have no access to it, regardless of what the permissions say? I am on a Mac Powerbook, OS 10.8.5
Thanks in advance
