Strange console messages - how to fix?

I have a weird console messages relating to an app I recently installed, but installed. I have looked for pref files but cannot find any, and the helper is also not running in Activity Monitor. Any ideas? Thanks!


In Console, it's under "DATABASE SEARCHES">"All messages"

You apparently have installed iDocument in the past, and it now seems to now be incompletely uninstalled, leaving behind a "launch agent" or "launch daemon" which is still active.


If you are currently running iDocument and want to keep it, I would re-install it.

If you don't want it, try to find out if the vendor provides an uninstaller for it.

If you don't want it and can't obtain an uninstaller, then I would look in these three folders:


Home (yourUsername) > Library > LaunchAgents

HD > Library > LaunchAgents

HD > Library > LaunchDaemons


for this file:

com.icyblaze.iDocumentHelper.plist


If you find that file, trash it and restart.
