I have an app called 'bin' It just won't go away. Every time I 'shut down' . The app 'bin' needs to be 'force quit'.

Thanks Mike. I can't find the bin app or .bin file. Here it is at the top of the page when I try to force quit.. But it doesn't exist in apps or spotlight search. Regards,

Declan O'Gallagher

Thanks Duane, appreciated. I am running Activity Monitor version 10.6. I can see no 'info button.' Peculiarly, 'bin app' on force quit will just reopen. I can see changes in the Activity monitor on force quit yet I don't know how to 'highlight that process.' Hope I'm on the right track.

Regards,

Declan O'Gallagher

I am running os 10.6.8. After clicking on force quit bin, this is a screen shot in Activity Monitor.

Thanks for your advice. I have downloaded etrecheck and here are the results.

Anyone any idea how to rid my computer of Bin application. Mysterious application that opens by itself and will not close unless force quit. Each time I shut down, I need to force quit the Bin application twice, only then will the computer close.Thanks in advance.

Thanks Allan. I assume you are suggesting that the three solutions you have given will get rid of my bad app. I will give them a go. Cheers.

That's good to know Leopardus. I will search further for a Malware app for my 10.6.8 ... Cheers..
