I'm not familiar with it.


  1. Does anything happen when you click it? Try option-clicking it too.
  2. Can you correlate its appearance to an app or process in Activity Monitor: How to use Activity Monitor on your Mac
  3. Might it be a Login Item: Open items automatically when you log in on Mac
  4. Does it appear in "Safe Mode": Use safe mode to isolate issues with your Mac
  5. If you remain stumped please examine the contents of the following three separate folders:


/Library/LaunchAgents

~/Library/LaunchAgents

/Library/LaunchDaemons
