I need some tech advice on a couple items I noticed in Session and Startup
Posted: Sat Jan 13, 2024 11:46 am
Hi, I hope everyone is well. I may have slight problem but I need to know if this is a threat or not. It may be something benign and just the titles of the items description may be making me a bit paranoid. Ok so in the Session and Startup menu I noticed two items that I have never seen before. One is titled: Tracker File System Miner and the other is: Tracker Metadata Extractor. I'll include a screenshot and my QSI as well for good measure. Also, I'm still running MX 21.3 Xfce 64 bit. Thanks!
