Undercover Registration request has been appearing

Hi Folk

Recently a window asking me to register Undercover has begun appearing numerous times during the day. It has "uninstall", "remind me later" and "continue". Is it safe to click "uninstall".

Back in the day "Undercover" by Oribus (sp) was antitheft software for the mac. Been gone for years as has the company.

Spotlight search doesn't find any files named "Undercover"

How do I get rid of this?

Thanks,

Burt

üst to be safe and peace of mind - this might or might not be malware. A very Trusted Developer and Reliable Contributor to these Forums has a Free Application or Paid for added features called Malwarebytes for Mac. Install and run it. If malware is present - it will be removed.

If it is something you installed—that no longer works, the "Uninstall " seems a logical choice.
