How to get ride of Mac Auto Fixer Database Updated pop up

Hi all,

I was able to remove Mac Auto Fixer and also "Similar Photo Cleaner" from my Macbook Pro through the Library and Cache files. But now I keep getting a pop up for Mac Auto Fixer saying "Database Updated" I'm not sure where I can look to delete or update this pop up. Keeps happening on the upper right corner. Any tips would be appreciated.

Mac-Auto-Fixer Database Updated ongoing pop-up I've looked allover the Internet... You are my last resource, so PLEASE help! This is becoming a serious issue, as I'm now getting the "Mac-Auto-Fixer Database Updated" pop-up once every minute. The pop-up lasts about 5 seconds. I have searched this community as well, but nothing seems to be fixing this issue. As far as 3rd party programs: Some posts here are suggesting to use of a 3rd party program such as Komros and similar, but then there are other posts suggesting that those programs are dangerous. So, what should I do? Please note that I have already removed the "Mac Auto Fixer" app long time ago and searched allover the library and found nothing. Also, please note that awhile back I was having issues with my browser, as my Safari and Chrome were both automatically switching to Bing browser. On Safari this issue was resolved after upgrading to High Sierra. My MacBook is from the late 2011, currently running macOS High Sierra version 10.13.6 The Activity Monitor shows 2 (TWO) "maftask" and "man-task" processes that will not shut down even after using force quit million times. Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Please help with the "Cache" file location of BorisFX Application Manager Hi, I am not sure I am on right place and if not please delete my request or move to suitable section. I bought BorisFX Plugins ( Continuum, Sapphire, MochaPro (Perpetual) + Silhouette (Perpetual). I do not have any issue, yet, with the applications as I am very newbie. But BorisFX has their application manager which can easily see new available updates. So I installed. It was not working for quite sometime on my Mac Pro 2019. The issues are . . . showed like above, the Log-in area is white blank and BorisFX Ad area is also blank. I can see the Ad if I click any tab except Products Tab. The second issue I am facing with the Version info. I have download the latest version of Sapphire from their website but still the application is showing me I have available software to update. It is showing me the version I installed on system is 16.501 and new version 16.51 is available to download even I have installed 16.51. I have contacted them since 3 Jun 2023 as I was suggested to do so from BorisFX FB page as it start annoying me. They cannot even help me to fix till this point. However I got email from their support today and suggested me to clear the cache and the issue will fix. The location they have suggested me is C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\BorisFX\Application Manager\cache I tried but I have no clue where to find the location. I have emailed them but I might take awhile to get back from them. If any chance please kindly help me to locate the location. I found Users\<username>\ but cannot find C:\ and AppData anywhere. Kind Regards
