What does this mean? /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist /System/Library/Private/Frameworks/PackageKit.framework/Resources/shove

I got this as a Webroot alert:


/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist

/System/Library/Private/Frameworks/PackageKit.framework/Resources/shove


Is this OK, or is it something I need to fix?

Thanks,

Jerry

Would probably be of help to know the Mac OS X system and details about

how the Remote Desktop application is being used. Or, if it is Not being used.


The line of information you posted appears to be related to remote desktop

preferences; that may mean user or system permissions, preferences, settings.

And it may indicate one of several things... I'm not sure exactly which.


If you are running a recent OS X version where there has been an update to

the Remote Desktop software, you may need to consider something as simple

as running Disk Utility, and choose "repair disk permissions" from its First Aid

section. Not knowing when or how the webroot alert was initiated, or if you have

been using a command-line access to modify the system, you may have to see

about using single-user mode commands; then restart to set it right.


More information may be needed, and then perhaps someone else may see this

topic and venture a reply.


Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

K Shaffer, thanks.

An Applecare person used, I guess, Remote Desktop to figure out some things about 10 days ago. That's all I know.

But today, another Webroot alert:


System Folder Modified:


/Users/j_ryberg/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.FolderActions.enabled.plist.Syste m/Library/CoreServices/System Events.app/Contents/MacOs/System Events


Do you see any clues there?

If there is an associated event in the Activity Monitor or in Console logs showing

something is actually running in the background, then I'd not be too concerned.


However, the Remote Desktop should not show any activity if you have it shut off.

After all, it is a Client version and unless you are networked remotely to someone

who would be controlling your Mac from elsewhere, there's no need to use it.


The application itself, is not the client version you have in your Mac for free:

http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/ the main deal administers client versions.

May be helpful to read up on various Mac OS X system sections to see when or

if you have odd experiences with them, where to go and look. I've not messed w/

Remote Desktop for several years, perhaps not since Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.x.


Questions and sometimes answers about Apple Remote Desktop, appear here:

Servers and Enterprise Software - Apple Support Community discussions.


Maybe you should contact the Apple person who looked into your Mac and ask

what was involved and why these messages keep appearing. The person should

be able to tell what they did and why they did it. And what to go into, and check...


They may have left something or another on or enabled, that needs to be addressed.

To see Webroot items does seem rather odd, since I've never had any messages

from that function; unless someone had a need to go in there. (But why?)


This thread was moved to Servers/Enterprise ASC, from an OS X ASC area, btw.


Also, after an update or other change in the system, may be reflected in Logs or in

the report generated by Disk Utility's repair disk permissions. These do not mean a

bad thing has taken place, necessarily. I'm unfamiliar with the recent one you noted.


In any event...

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂
