Found fuspredownloader.app in Login Elements

So you now know what it is. I did a search for that stuff and download KiesMac_1.0.0.11065_22.dmg. After examining the stuff the installer in there installs, I believe you can uninstall most of it by getting rid of that .FUS directory, the login items, and, as it turns out, that installer installs a driver named ssuddrv.kext which you should find in /System/Library/Extensions. Reboot after removing the driver (and that reboot will probably take a little longer as the kext cache is rebuilt).

You're probably in list view. When you use the "Go" menu and "Open a Folder..." and enter ~/Library/Application Support/.FUS you should see something like this:

Make sure that you're in column view like in the picture above. Click the button where I put the lame red arrow so you see columns. You should be able to see the folder and delete it then. Hope this helps!

PS - Click the picture above to see it better.

It's in your Application Support so it's not an apple service or anything else from apple. It is some kind of helper application associated with something you installed. I don't recognize the app names nor the .FUS name so I can't give you any more definitive info on it.

Whatever you installed, if you remove their login items (not the word "elements" by the way) whatever wants those login items won't function properly or most likely at all. Maybe it will complain and then you will know what you installed (whatever it is). You could rename the .FUS directory as well but if the login items are removed it won't matter anyway.

Thats the strange thing, I cant find the .FUS directory either. I guess samsung renamed it or something.

A good bit of advice though is that it appears the uninstaller included with the Kies installer now gets 98% of the junk now including the hidden driver. 😀, It does however leave behind some settings in the Preferances folder. 😟

Oh well, hopefully that is enough to take care of it locking up the computer at random times. Here I was blaming the web browser and it was actually the bloatware I had to install a few months ago to update my phone. -_-

The .FUS directory is hidden in the ~/Library/Application Support directory. If you go to the Finder's Go menu and click on "Go to folder...", then enter ~/Library/Application Support/.FUS, you'll get to it.

Alright, first I want to thank you for the help, but I still have a question. How do I get rid of the "fusdownloader" thing? Everytime I try to send it to the trash I recieve a message telling that it's not possible, because fusdownloader is open...

If you mean fuspredownloader, go to System Preferences, click on "Users & Groups", click on your user name and then to the right, click on the "Login Items" bar. In there you should find all the things that start when you login and one of them should be fuspredownloader, click on it so it's highlighted and then click the "-" button below the list to the left. Restart your system and you should then be able to complete deleting the hidden .FUS folder.

If you didn't mean fuspredownloader, I got nothing! I'm not finding a fusdownloader file on my system and I have the Kies software installed. Good luck!

Sorry, it's ''fusPREdownloader''. I went there, saw the "fuspredownloader" and clicked on it to not start after the login, but when I restarted the Mac it was there again! The problem is that I'm not able to find the folder and delete the file. It's supposed to be here (/Users/blablabla/Library/Application)... but when I go there I see nothing named .FUS or anything like it.

When you went to System Preferences and got to the Login Items list, did you click on the "-" button at the bottom so that "fuspredownloader" was deleted? It sounds like you might have clicked on the checkbox to the left of "fuspredownloader". That will only start it hidden or not. You have to make it disappear from the list, then restart.

To get to a hidden folder, you have to use the "Go To Folder..." command off the "Go" menu in Finder.

The .FUS directory is hidden in the ~/Library/Application Support directory. If you go to the Finder's "Go" menu and click on "Go to folder...", then enter ~/Library/Application Support/.FUS, you'll get to it. I'm pretty sure you can copy and paste it right from this post. the "~" will mean your "/Users/blablabla" and the rest will get you there. Because it's hidden, you won't see it going directly from a Finder window, you have to use the "Go" menu.

Now I get it! Sorry, I'm new in this Mac world, but I'll get there sooner or later, lol. I managed to get rid of the fuspredownloader in the Login Items list and also deleted the fuspredownloader inside the .fus folder. Thanks. Just let me ask you one more thing. Do I have to delete the other files or only the fuspredownloader? Thanks again.

Kleis is horrible software. It's even worse on Windows. Needed for backing up Samsung Galaxy etc. Good thing to monitor the startup and launch areas for crud like this from time to time. If it was good why would they install it to a hidden directory? No thanks.
