helpermcp is popping up

It sounds like adware or malware. Download and run the free version of Malwarebytes. It should remove it.

Malwarebytes was developed by a long time contributor to these forums and a highly respected member of the computer security community.

Activate Finder

Enter helpermcp in search box (upper right corner)

You will see the helpermcp app plus a .plist file

Drag the plist file to trash first ( this will prevent the app coming back again)

Then drag the app to trash

Presto - Popup is gone.

I have the same problem after update to Catalina from Mojave.

Please, help how to fix this?

Ditto to "helpermcp" popup after installing Catalina. Anyone have a fix?

tengo el mismo problema....

I used Malware Scan: https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac/ and it removed the pop-up for me

Thanks - it was driving me mad!

I stopped it with „Combo Cleaner“

Done in 10 minutes! 👍👍👍

Thank you :)

This worked perfect for me.....pop-up gone.....took only a couple minutes to do.

thanks a lot, it worked for me.

I did this and it completely fixed my mac! If you're having this issue take a quick second to download this and use the free version and it will fix your computer!!!

Thanks. This worked perfectly. Wasn’t about to install more software (Malwarebytes) when it can be handled at the system level.
