How to remove (uninstall) Nalpeirond (Nalpeiron Daemon) ?

I found out that there is a useless process running on my system (likely from an old soft that I'm no longer using): nalpeirond

Googling and looking at discussions help me find that this is linked to software protection, but not how to uninstall it from my system.

The uninstall process for the original software should have removed it. But since it apparently did not (or you just trashed the original app without running its uninstaller), look in these two folders:

bootdrive/Library/StartupItems

bootdrive/System/Library/StartupItems

and see if there's anything you can identify as being either from that original software or Naperion. If so, trash that item/folder and restart your system.

Hope this helps.

Found ProTec6 in bootdrive/Library/StartupItems
Deleted it and now it's working fine.
Thanks for your help.
