Hello people!

When i tried to download a program,

    where did you DL the program?

    what program did your DL?

    if an installer for one program is asking you install another program you might like I'd be suspicious and not use that program.

    Unfortunately this practice is becoming commonplace with  many DL hosting cites, and the recourse is to not use those sites or support software that is being exploited.

     

    to delete Magabackup

    Force Quit the application (or quit in Activity Monitor) and discard the applications icon/folder into the trash

    (usually components can be found in Macintosh HD/Applications or Macintosh HD/User/[your account]/Applications

     

    Next check your user startup items for any launch assistants:

    go to >System Preferences>Users & Groups

    select your account

    click on the login items tab

    select and delete any "megabackup" components using the "-" icon if they are found.

     

    next go to Macintosh HD/Library/Startupitems
    remove any "megabackup" components that may be in the folder
