Q: Deleting Launch Daemons

When I run EtreCheck I see this:

Problem System Launch Daemons:

[running] com.cpsww.ppupsd.plist

It is a remnant of previously uninstalled PowerPanel software for a CyberPower UPS. EtreCheck says:

Problem System Launch Daemons:
These are any low-level, Apple-provided parts of your operating system. Any failure that appears here may indicate a problem with your system. No 3rd party software should be listed here. If there are any 3rd party programs here, they should be uninstalled.

I don't see this in /Library/LaunchAgents. Can someone tell me where to find this Launch Daemon to delete it?

2011 iMac OSX 10.9.4

Thanks for your help db24401, but that is, indeed, the way I looked for it following your first suggestion. It's not there...

After 4 days of searching and trying, I finally found the solution!
Using Finder (Under the folder "Library"), go to your "LaunchDaemons" folder and delete everything in there. Then go to "Internet Plug-ins" folder and delete everything except for "default browser". I also deleted everything in my "LaunchAgents" folder. Restart your macbook and TaDaaaa! Magic. My browsers all work again!

If LaunchDaemons folder is deleted from system library in that condition
( a ) press command + J choose as name

( b) go to go folder type /Library

Take the cursor on top menu bar, and click on file > new folder - in the field type LaunchDaemons

No spelling mistakes in LaunchDaemons also there is no space in between the word , L and D are capital .

LaunchDaemons will be set in system library alphabetically .

Please delete third party software installed , & it has deleted LaunchDameons folder .

Thanks !
