[Ti] system instability [add: with VPC7?]

[silvo conticello]

No, I use VPC6, but not very often and not in conjuction with the 
system instability

Something I've noticed. 2 days ago I've found a cron task trying to 
backup at midnight every day using CarbonCopyCloner. I discovered it 
few days ago after noticing a huge amount of load on the cpu around 
midnight.
I have no idea when and how was it installed, anyway I found that (in 
absence of a connected HD) it started to backup everything in /Volumes 
(and I've finally realized where those 6Gb have vanished...).
Now, since all my problems with the computer happened at night, though 
I don't remember the exact time.... it might be that this rogue process 
is the guilty.
