Item found in "Login Items" after installing Ventura (kextload) - what is it?

kextload is an Apple utility used to load kernel extensions in the kernel.

Most of those utilities are unsigned.

You likely have some third-party system modification loading its kernel extension.

sh is the basic unix shell.

With Ventura it seems that the developer's name (if there is one) is used for items launching at login instead of the app itself. I had 3 like that and it took me a while to figure them out. You might use Etrecheck to see what's running an has no name.

Not sure what all those are, they seem like system wide stuff, but strange to be on your login items.

I checked mine and nothing is there, tons under run in background tho (need to investigate that more)

BUT as far as your concern on screen sharing, *I think* and I need to test more, when someone connects to your Mac there is a popup on the top right that says: Your Screen is being viewed by someone else" . That happened to me yesterday when I VNC from my iPad to my Mac.

I would google if that is a new think on ventura, then you would know if someone is actually checking your screen or not.

Hi and thank you both ...for the question and the response. I am not a very technical person and noticed this too.

My question is more about if it's safe to keep active/on?

That would make sense! Thank for the tip on the app, I didn't know about it.
