How do I disable automatic startup of Viber on booting up?

Hey, I let Viber set itself to start automatically on startup. The problem is that I cannot undo that. I can't find a list or utility in my Mac Book Pro or in Viber to stop automatic startup of Viber. Help!

I wasn't able to complete the registration with Viber because I'm in US temporarily at the moment and my cellphone is disabled. Will it be easier to disable automatic startup of Viber when I get home (to Ireland). I can't even use Viber - it's not displaying the sidebar so I can't put on a contact. Help!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.1), not quite sure of Mountain Lion ed

Please follow these steps to disable viber auto startup.

1. remove any related files in following dir

/Library/StartupItems

/Library/LaunchAgents

/Library/LaunchDaemons

~/Library/LaunchAgents

~/Library/LaunchDaemons

2. remove viber from "system preferences" --> "Users & Groups" --> "Login Items"

3. Open "Terminal" from "Applications" --> "Utilities" --> "Terminal" type following commands

$ launchctl list | grep -i viber

You will see there is an item "com.viber.OSX" there

$ launchctl remove com.viber.OSX

This item will be removed

$ sudo -i (enter your own password to become a root)

# launchctl remove com.viber.OSX (to remove it again)

# launchctl list | grep -i viber (double comfirm there is no viber anymore)

4. Open viber from "Applications" --> "Viber"

5. "Viber" --> "Preferences" --> "Basics" --> disable the "Start viber on system startup" --> "OK"

6. end

these process has been tested and work on 10.8.4

You can solve this by: open Viber> click viber on the top menu bar> Preferences> Basic> uncheck (Start Viber on system startup)

Let me know if it worked! 🙂
