Cannot find this file to rid my iMac of it

My gear: 2020 iMac, SSD, macOS 13.0


Multiple time a day, this alert slides out at the top, right or my desktop.


I went hunting online and found that Corsair Memory are the developers of the free Memtest application which I probably ran at some time in the past to check my RAM. 


I no longer have the Application and when I do a thorough search of my iMac for the word “corsair” using Find Any File, it finds absolutely nothing.


I went into System Settings > General > Login Items and under [Allow In Background] turned off Corsair but I would love to be able to find it on my Hard Drive and eliminate it once and for all.


I did another search, using Find Any File/Startup Disk for [Name] [Contains] “corsair" and then repeated it again for “memtest”, and FaF found nothing.


Where could this “background Items Added” possibly be???


For the record in Login Items in Ventura I have:

• Calendar.app

• CloudClip Manager.app

• Cookie.app

• Itsycal.app


I also looked in System Settings > Notifications, but nothing in there either.


As if to mock me, as I am posting this, the above alert popped up on my desktop once again.!!

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.15

Figures, they want you to install Troubleshooting software to be able to Uninstall the software.

Checking Activity Monitor for a similar named Process might also help in your search efforts.


Another is to get and run EtreCheck Pro on your Mac > https://etrecheck.com/en/index.html

OMG! Found it at last. Looking in detail at each of the Launch Agents on which EtreCheck provided information, I found Corsair under eopccam, an app I got on the app store a year ago that allows you to use your better-quality camera on your iPhone for your camera during Zoom sessions.


Thanks ever so much for that suggestion.

Running EtreCheck Pro, which I have had for some time, now.


I checked, as you suggested, Activity Monitor, under Processes and nothing popped out but...there are so many entries that might as well be in ancient Greek.


As soon as EtreCheck is done, will post the results here
