What does it mean when the system.log files up with messages of the form:

Hey everyone,
Ok, I managed to round up some details on this.
It's actually believed to be an artifact left over from one of the APIs we'll be replacing in a future version of SAV.
The good news is that it shouldn't put your Mac at risk. If you experience a crash of the web service (as mentioned by Robr) there will be a very breif window during which content won't be scanned, but in most cases malware needs to be written to disk, so the on-access scanner will come into play and the crashed web daemon will automatically recover.
- That's not good. Do you find that your Mac is always slow now, or is it intermittantly? Have you noticed any correlation to other activities?
