Virus? Security Question - strange plist entry / task

Hi!
My firewall Little Snitch noticed right after boot an application that tries to connect to a nonsense url, something like sdfsfjkhewsdfe.com.
The process is named ".smgr" and is located within user/Library.
The process is started by user/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.manager.plist
Does anybody knows about this .smgr task? Or can I get anymore info when examining other files?
Thanks in advance!
com.apple.manager.plist reads:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.
Do they launch OK while in Safe Mode?

Strange plist files found

Browsing my ~/Library/Preferences folder I found some 'strange' plist files. Investigating I found I could NOT open them with plist editor. Looking at them with hexedit showed they are binary files. What I could not find so far is who creates them, but some searching hints they are not 'dangerous'.
Some more details:
They are ALL 286 bytes long.
the names are:
com.ElggGroup.Enterprisedigital.plist
com.SysternatemsCorporation.Stoneworks.plist
com.utilineau.dogleg.plist
com.CONAsia.Offspring.plist
Hexdump shows identical content for all files:

I found three threads that had similar issues
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1662657
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Mpw-dev/2002/Jun/msg00055.html
http://forum.waves.com/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=4520
But I certainly am not using ProTools and the WavePlugin with it.
One interesting discovery was some sample code here:
http://developer.apple.com/samplecode/FSMegaInfo/listing16.html
There this hex sequence was repeated many times.
My suspicion is that some software I have uses this (or similar) sample code and has not been cleaned. That does however not explain the choice of the plist file names. None of those names appear to relate to any software I have installed.
My question is: how can I search for the culprit on my system? How can I use grep, find or whatever to e.g. search for the string of the plist name?
And what are these files really? Resource forks? What's special about this byte sequence?
Thanks for any input.

Thanks for the kind and quick reply.
They do indead. Binary and xml are possible starting with 10.4 as this article suggests:
http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20071112175807360
Another utility to check and convert plists from one format to another is plutil. But as you can see from the output below, the files are NOT valid plists. And, looking at the binary dump, is not surprising: It contains virtually no information.
martin$ plutil com.utilineau.dogleg.plist
com.utilineau.dogleg.plist:
XML parser error:
Unexpected character at line 1
Old-style plist parser error:
Unexpected character '0x0' at line 1
martin$ plutil -convert xml1 com.utilineau.dogleg.plist
com.utilineau.dogleg.plist: XML parser error:
Unexpected character at line 1
Old-style plist parser error:
Unexpected character '0x0' at line 1
As to your suggestion of using spotlight, it does not find anything. Which also is not surprising since it does NOT index every file, particularly binaries.
My hope is to find the string tucked away in some binary. Afterall SOME software either created the plists or copied them to the user library. So the string of at least the 'company' names must be somewhere. Of course that could be in a compressed file so a direct search would not see it.
I still think the files are bogus, searching for those names on google brings precious little. If it were a Windows machine, I'd say there's a virus...
Further suggestions for investigations or hunting are much appreciated.

HT5312 I don`t remember setting up security questions and if i did i don`t remember the answers (all of a sudden I am now asked to answer security questions when I have never been asked in the past???) I have no rescue email either

I have been buying itunes for about a year and a half with no trouble and within the past month everytime I tried to buy music it keeps asking me for answers to security questions that I do not know the answers to as I don't even remember doing this when i started with itunes - AND I won't have an alternate recovery email as I only have one email.
I have attempted three times now to go through apple support to no avail as i keep giving them my phone number - no one calls (cause I am home each time the date I check off) and then I get an email saying we tried to contact you but there was no answer! very strange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can only get reset info sent to a rescue email addres, which is not the same thing as an alternate email address - they are different settings/addresses on an account. If you don't have a rescue email address (and you can't add one without being able to answer 2 of your questions) then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

I can't download apps! Every time I try, it asks me to chose a security question and I try, but I just comes up with a blank screen and I can't choose a question. If I click no, I don't want to put security questions, it doesn't install the app. HELP!

I can't do it! I am willing to add questions but I can't because it just shows me a blank screen. I even tried rebooting my entire iPad2 and that didn't work. I know it is not a certain app because I tried multiple ones.... HELP!

Hi all! I have found the answer in another forum and this has 100% worked for me!!!
1) Quit App Store in multi-tasking.
•From the Home screen, click the Home button twice.
•Tap and hold on the app.
•When it starts to jiggle, tap the red ⛔ in the top corner to close it;
***Please close all open apps on your phone***
2) Tap Settings.
3) Tap Safari.
4) Tap Clear History.
5) Tap the Clear History button.
6) Tap Clear Cookies and Data.
7) Tap the Clear Cookies and Data button

I hope this helps a lot of people!! Spread the word (seeing as apple doesn't seem to want to/care!)

Every time I try to purchase a song from itunes, it says I have to put in security questions and answer them, which it's never done before. Then after I do the questions, it says that an error occurred and my changes couldn't be saved. HELP!

Every time I try to purchase a song from itunes, it says I have to put in security questions and answer them, which it's never done before. Then after I do the questions, it says that an error occurred and my changes couldn't be saved. It has been doing this for weeks, and I can't purchase anything! HELP!

Hi mterry1723, one solution that might be worth trying is this:
- Close iTunes, if it's open
- Open Safari and got to 'Preferences'
- Select 'Security' on the top
- Untick all the security options in the menu
- Click the 'Show Cookies' button and look for all the 'apple' entries in the left-hand column.
- Highlight them (select them collectively) and press 'Remove'
- Now open iTunes and buy the song as usual.
- You may be asked to do the same security process as before, so do as asked.
- Hopefully, the security check will now have accepted your answers and start downloading the song as normal.
Remember to re-tick all the required security options you had just un-ticked in Safari preferences. You don't need to bother about opening the cookies again.
I hope this has worked for you and my profoundest apologies if it has not. Worth a go, though!
I did see this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/18259935#18259935 which may be of more help, mainly the last entry by 'c2boyd'

How do i deal with 'security certificate' issues on my iPad2? I'm unable to answer the security questions that pop up when Im trying to download an app because the pop up does not load properly...

Basically my Ipad2 stopped allowing me to go to sites such as Tumblr a little while ago. It wouldn't display the page properly because of 'security certificate' issues. This in itself would not have been such a problem, but when I went to the App store to try and download the Tumblr App, a pop up appeared asking me to answer some security questions before I could successfully install the App. However, the pop up would not display correctly because of 'security certificate' issues and as a result I can't download any apps from the App Store. Can anyone help with this??

Well, I maged to delete some stuff, download the update...
My Mac mail is still not ok. Still only displays today, yesterday and everything is the 16th of the month previous to this?
All a bit strange to say the least any suggestons on how to resolve this.

Authorisation of an old account on a new mac, Password not working, no longer have access to that email address, and security question not working. But I do have my mac authorised! ...is there anyway to copy or get authorisation info off it???

Please help me!!!!
I have got a new Mac, I am trying to share my itues on it as well as my old mac, I have had two itunes accounts in my life, one is current now (this account) one I have not had access to the email for years. Since I have bought music off both accounts, I wish to play it all on both my macs. My Old mac has both accounts Authorised fine and all is good.
My new Mac, I have thios account running fine, but keep getting prompted for the password for my old account, I have no idea what my old password is, I have not had access to that email address for 5 years, and for some strange reason the security question isn't working eaither.
Since I do still have one Mac where it is Authorised, Is there any file I can copy accross or anyway to get the password out of the OSX 10.6.8 for my old account.
Secondly, is there anyway to roll both accounts into just my current one.
Many Thanks in advance for your help.
Steve

I too am having this same problem but I have not seen ANY solutions for it. Looks like Apple is ignoring it!!!!!!!!?

How do I change my password if I can't answer one of the security questions. iCloud does not give me a reset option of questions or email to my account to start over

I want to change password of my ICould. It keeps asking me security questions which I never remember setting up and thus can't answer them correctly. There is no option to reset questions or for email to my account for reset. Any help?

I found it, but only on the "outside"...before you sign in. Once you are signed in, it is not there. (Now, I might be overlooking it or be crazy, but I can't find it)
I know many people love all the bells and whistles of modern computing...but I want it as simple as I can have it, and more and more I find these this simple task becoming more difficult.
Oh well, thanks for your kind response.

TS3297 itunes 10.6.1 now asking for 3 security questions. After input I get "error in the itunes store -1202". I cannot purchase from the store.

Running Vista Ultimate. Itunes 10.6.1 is now asking to answer 3 security questions before accessing the store. After entry I get "error in the itunes store -1202" I cannot purchase music at this point. Any help is appreciated.

This problem is resolved. I deleted the old iTunes (with write permissions turned on for my account) and reinstalled successfully. Removing the deleted iTunes from Trash was troublesome even with root but after playing around with permissions and flags, I was able to remove it.

I cant get passed the security questions what can ido

when i want to reset the answer for my security questions, it says it wil send the reset to the alternate email, but ive been waiting for 2 weeks what can ido

Have you changed your email address recently (I have had the same one for 23 years so I find it strange people keep on changing theirs)?
Jan 2014 post about contacting Apple to reset security questions - https://discussions.apple.com/message/24543247 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/24671039

After i enter a website it appears a security question when i say for it to allow the webpage appears out of normal, what to do?

when i'm entenring a page like facebook the security question appears, i press ad exception and then the page appears nothing like normal, it apears like someone copyed every text and put in Word.

That sounds strange. Are you sure it's the correct site?
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
That will open a dialog where you can remove the cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?
