Does this have to do with my icon? It pops up almost every 10-15 minutes.

MacBook Pro, yosemite OSX 10.10.1

Hi,


I would check the Applications Folder and the Utilities Folder (in Applications) to see if it belongs to an App/Utility you have installed.


It looks like it might be called Zip Cloud.

Search (Apps with Cloud icons with Zip)

"ZipCloud" is some sort of cloud-storage service with a doubtful reputation. The OS X client is sometimes distributed along with malware. Although ZipCloud may not be malicious itself, it should be deemed suspect by virtue of the company it keeps.

To remove ZipCloud, start by backing up all data (not with ZipCloud itself, of course.)

Quit the application, if it's running, and drag it from the Applications folder to the Trash.

Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:

~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.jdibackup.ZipCloud.autostart.plist

Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select

Services Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)

from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Trash.

In the same folder, there may also be a file named

com.jdibackup.ZipCloud.notify.plist

Move that to the Trash as well.

Log out or restart the computer and empty the Trash.

*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select

Go Go to Folder...

from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
