Hmmm...I trust your knowledge over mine, that's for sure. I will look to see if I can find xProtect to see if it is running.

I think, as you said, the Yosemite installation disabled the eset.

Thank you for your assistance.

Hey, Cap'n, here's how you turn it back on if it's off.

Open a terminal window. You'll find Terminal inside Utilities in Applications then cut and paste this into the Terminal at the prompt and then press Return or Enter:

defaults write com.apple.LaunchServices LSQuarantine -bool YES

That will turn xProtect back on if it has been turned off.

If for some reason you WANT to turn it off, put the same command in the Terminal and change the "YES" to "NO" and press Return or Enter.
