fuspredownloader

Just installed Mojave 10.14 and during setup received this notification “fuspredownloader“ wants access to control “System Events“. Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in “System Events“, and to perform actions within that app.

Is this legit - should I allow access to System events?

System Extension Updated. You must approve it in the Security & Privacy System Preferences. Yesterday my M1 Macbook Air running macOS Monterey 12.1 popped up a dialog window titled System Extension Updated, with a message that said something like "A program has updated system extension(s). To finish the update, you must approve it in the Security & Privacy System Preferences", and two buttons, OK and Open Security Preferences. I clicked Open Security Preferences (without first taking a screenshot of the dialog window which then disappeared, so I can't be sure of the message exactly) thinking that System Preferences would show which application/extension has been updated. But all that System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General says is that "Your current security settings prevent the installation of system extensions" and a button titled Enable system extensions... I don't want to enable system extensions without first knowing which system extension and which app this all has to do with. I can tell that none of the installed apps or extensions have been updated recently by looking at the Last Modified dates in System Information > Applications and System Information > Extensions respectively. Also, System Information > Legacy Software says "No information found." I've scanned my computer using Bitdefender Virus Scanner and Malwarebytes and they didn't find anything. But I'm a bit worried because I've never seen such a dialog message before.

a mystery application called additionalresults is on my macbook. Anyone know what it is please? On start-up my MacBook Pro running Mojave 10.14.4 flashed a message about allowing or disallowing an application called additionalresults. Foolishly I allowed it. Anyone know what it is?

fuspredownloader was not installed by Apple. It is installed in conjunction with a Samsung product.

Probably not, but only you can know what you installed and the reason for installing it. Do you own a Samsung Galaxy tablet or phone or similar product? If so refer to its documentation.
