Wanting to delete Amazon WorkDocs Drive There's an app that I downloaded by accident called Amazon WorkDocs Drive. The app always opens up automatically on my computer and there is only an option for me to minimize the pop-up, not exit out of it completely. It's driving me bonkers and I'd like to uninstall the app but I can't, because I keep getting an error message saying that the app is open. I've tried restarting my computer several times now and don't select the "re-open windows" option, but the app still opens automatically. Any suggestions on how I can uninstall this app?

Need help with com.UniversalWebResultDaemon.plist Uninstall Hello there, Purchased a Mac recently. As I installed some of my old apps (i.e. Utorrent), Some of the permission requests I received felt weird. Finally, when I tried to search for utorrent I couldn't despite installation. I found a new app called performance manager or something of the sort. Have uninstalled it and downloaded a generic antivirus from the App Store to check if there are any viruses / malware. Found this one particularly, com.UniversalWebResultDaemon.plist. Any advice on how to uninstall? [Link Edited by Moderator]

You probably have a launch daemon that was left over.

Check the following folders in order, to see if you find that file:

/Library/LaunchDaemons

/Library/LaunchAgents

~/Library/LaunchAgents

To quickly open each of the above folders: in the Finder, press command-shift-G, then paste the corresponding line.
