BOINC

In users and groups I have two items, boinc_ master and boinc_project.


I cannot find any library or ~library items named boinc.


What is boinc and how can I completely delete it.


I do not recollect having down loaded Boinc


Thanks

Mac OS X ¶

To completely remove (uninstall) BOINC from your Macintosh:

  • Move the following files to the trash:
    • BOINCManager.app (from your /Applications/ folder)
    • BOINCSaver.saver (from your /Library/Screen? Savers/ folder)
    • the BOINC Data/ folder (from your/Library/Applications? Support/ folder.)
    • [username]/Library/Preferences?/BOINC Manager Preferences)
  • Open the Accounts pane in the System Preferences (accessible from the Apple menu), and remove BOINCManager from your list of Login Items (or Startup Items under OS 10.3.)
  • Open System Preferences from the Apple menu. Select Desktop & Screen Saver and select a different screen saver.
