There's another factor we haven't considered, and it all links back to those damn ducks. An unintended byproduct of the Macbook Pro's built in AirPort allows it to accept WIFI [Waterfowl Infusion Field Immersion] signals, which may be causing data packets to enter his laptop that are being rebuilt into physical ducks. Now, Mac OS 10.8.3 fixed this issue, so if he's fully updated he should be relatively safe, but I've heard rumors that the WIFI flaw is being broken into again by a group of elite, computer-savvy blue jays. OP, you may want to disconnect from any WIFI networks you may be on and avoid using the computer again. And whatever you do, don't try to fix it by using ethernet- they want you to do that so that the data can be transmitted out into the internet mainlines and infect countless unsuspecting users. You are our last hope, If Triple-Asterisk Ingmad. You know what to do.
