error message: cursoruiviewservice

I've recently started to receive a message from CleanMyMac as follows: CursorUIViewService. Does anyone know what's really going on? Is this an Apple MacOS issue or an issue with CleanMyMac? I have a 2023 MacMini M2 computer running Sonoma 14.5.

Mac mini, macOS 14.5

CleanMyMac has a long history of causing problems. It's pretty close to being malware itself. You do not need it. Uninstall it according to the developer's instructions.

Although it's about protecting your computer against malware, it also talks about applications like CleanMyMac and why you don't need them.

Part 1 of 2

Any of the below should be removed as per Developers Instructions 


Disk Cleaner 


This will include CleanMyMac , aka “ BrickMyMac


Part 2 of 2


Specific to CleanMyMac aka “ BrickMyMac


To put the CleanMyMac in context and the damages it may have or has already done.


This application can or will Muck Up your User Account ( Home Folder ) of this machine.


It does not touch the Operating System itself, unless you consider your User Account ( Home Folder ) as part of the Operating System


Then in that specific context - it has Mucked Up the Operating  System 


The steps in #1 below is predicated on the Offending  Application has been Removed as per the Developers Specific Instruction 


# 1 Some Contributors suggest restarting in Recovery Mode and choosing to Reinstall the Operating System over the existing installation. 


This may or may not replace elements of the  Home Folder ( User Account )  and replace any corrupted or removed elements and make things right 🤞


#2 - Then there are Other Contributors ( like myself ) would suggest  from this link Use Disk Utility to erase a Mac with Apple silicon.


For Intel computer >> Use Disk Utility to erase an Intel-based Mac followed by How to reinstall macOS


Thereafter to start from scratch and install all Required Applications directly from the Apple Apps Store or Directly from the Developer.


If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate things back as this will probably Re-Introduce the existing  issue at the time TM Backup was made
