I have a player location check icon that I cannot remove. I believe it is for an online gambling app, which I do not use. It showed up after a system update. How do I remove it?

Starting in Safe mode (hold Shift after the bong) worked for me – Safe mode starts your machine without non-Apple plugins, extensions, and apparently launch agents (and probably a lot more). It actually takes longer than a regular boot/start.
I found a couple launchagents in Macintosh HD > Library > LaunchAgents and a few in Macintosh HD > Library > LaunchDaemons, but nothing in the System folder.
There will also be a preference option (with a different logo) in Apple Icon>System Preferences that you can just right-click and delete (I did this in regular start mode).
Finally, I found a preference pane file in Macintosh HD > Library > PreferencePanes... called something like PlayerLocationCheck.prefPane. this can be deleted in regular start mode as well.
FWIW, the shortcut to see these invisible folders is Command-Shift-. (period) ... then hit Command-Shift-. again to hide them
I would empty the trash while you're in Safe mode too, just to be sure.
What a hassle... this isn't supposed to happen on a Mac, especially through a web browser.
Thanks.
thanks. am i supposed to remove the entire folders for launchagents and launchdemons?
No, not the whole folders.
Thank you so much for your reply! I find this community board to be so helpful...
Will download Firefox as you suggest.
Thanks again....
just the files themselves, not the folders. There's a lot of good and vital stuff in those folders. Just get rid of those bad files :D
Your Welcome. :)

Good advice. :)
Good work, thanks for the report. :)
Thanks! This worked perfectly
Great to hear! :)
Thanks so much! This was driving me nuts!
