Whence "background file activity" dialogue box?

[Black Landlord]

[quote MacManMaz]Those two should be there, I wouldn't mess with them. Although I don't recall seeing a dialogue like that, my guess is that it is the Firefox auto update feature or some other application autoupdate (MSOffice comes to mind) checking for the latest software. I wouldn't worry about it unless it is running in the background often and caused a lot of CPU activity or disk activity.
Thanks!
No office around. I don't use iCal and probably never will. Already flushed iTuneshelper though . . . any idea what it does?
