UnrealEgg wrote Well looking at the image a quick Google search resulted in:

ttys000 = Your keyboard
kennybanks-pc = Computer name - Did you buy it 2nd hand? You can change it by: System Preferences > Sharing > Computer Name

Well if you look at this Google query [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] you can see that there are a few people asking the same thing. If I were in your situation I would see that as maybe being a default PC name on setup if you don't enter one. But then the little amount of results in Google could suggest something malicious?

Well looks like a recent article is a total load of crap. Internet is full of lies. I can't even get a straight answer. Of all the things I saw they all were programs installed manually not automatically.

That's just a virus database ran by iAntivirus; not a your computer.

Everyone recommends a virus scan with Clam AV which is apparently the Malwarebytes of Mac. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]
