AMaViS Daemon?

Hi All,

I have something strange going on. Under 10.7.2 my user account's permission got changed to read only on my boot drive this past Friday (Oct 28, 2001). Even creating a new user with adimn rights didn't not work, still read only. After repairing permissions, rebuilding the directory, nothing worked. The only ways I can get write access is by putting my user account directly into the admin group or by giving everyone write accss to the boot disk. I've done the former. This evening I checked Lion's Directory Utility and discovered that the staff group contains one member which resolves out to be a user named AMaVis Dameon.  Any clues? I'm wondering if I've gotten a unknown virus on the Mac, only info on the web points a mail virsus called AMaViSd. BTW I tried running Sophos last night it stopped about 2/3rds the way into it before I went to bed, still there when I got up this morning. It did not detect any threats when it was running and it was installed and updated last night.

Thanks for any help anyone can provide. Take Care!

Toby
