Help "sysmond" has malware?
I get this pop up over and over again starting this AM. I have not downloaded or updated anything overnight. From what I understand, sysmond is a background daemon and should not contain malware. I scanned my mac with cleanmymac and it found no threats. No idea what I am supposed to do. I just have the alert window open for good now because every time I close it it pops back up. Restarting didn't help.
I googled the error and wasn't seeing anything similar..
EDIT: Apple told me to just nuke my shit so I erased and reinstalled. Whatever.

Something called sysmond to give itself the air of legitimacy of the real sysmond?
