Suspicious Activity Detected - system folder modified

On my MacBook pro I get the above message when I start up the system. This points to the file “/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.appleseed.seedusaged.postinstall.plist”.

This file contains what looks like a call to the “Feedback Assistant.app” app:

     <key>Label</key>

     <string>com.apple.appleseed.seedusaged.postinstall</string>

     <key>LimitLoadToSesionType</key>

     <string>Aqua</string>

     <key>ProgramArguments</key>

     <array>

          <string>oneShot</string>

     </array>

     <key>RunAtLoad</key>

     <true/>

     <key>Program</key>

     <string>/System/Library/CoreServices/Applications/Feedback Assistant.app/Contents/Library/LaunchServices/seedusaged</string>

 

Is this normal and OK, or is it some kind of malware?

 

Thanks.

Hello @egrisard 

 

For things like this it’s best to Submit a Support Ticket and put that info in the ticket and they will let you know!

 

Note: When submitting a Support Ticket, Please wait for a response from Support. Putting in another Support Ticket on this problem before Support responses will put your first Support Ticket at the end of the queue. A reply from Support should take from 24 to 48 hours but could take a little longer because of COVID 19 and the Webroot Employees are busy working from home.
