every time i run permissions repair, one thing will always come up - Macromedia Support. i have director, dreamweaver and flash installed. it is everytime though, since i pretty much got the computer 6 months ago.

Repairing permissions for “Quagmire”
Determining correct file permissions.
Permissions differ on ./Library/Application Support/Macromedia, should be drwxrwxr-x , they are drwxrwxrwx
Owner and group corrected on ./Library/Application Support/Macromedia
Permissions corrected on ./Library/Application Support/Macromedia

Permissions repair complete
The privileges have been verified or repaired on the selected volume
 
I get that a lot, too... nothing to panic over, but it definitely shouldn't be happening as much as it does (if ever).

It looks like some Macromedia application (Flash player, maybe) modifies it's own permissions when it runs or does something, and those new permissions don't match the permissions defined by the receipt. Nothing wrong with your computer -- it's something wrong with Macromedia's software.
 
Well, it could be from Macromedia Flash banners on web pages or something like that. I don't think it's harmful, but it does point to sloppy programming on Macromedia's part.
