Apple Wants to Make changes

Hi David & Eric!

I've been having the same 'Apple Wants to Make Changes' issue and

in my Mac HD/Library/LaunchDaemons folder I find the following 4 files:

com.adobe.fpsaud.plist

com.google.keystone.daemon.plist

com.malwarebytes.HelperTool.plist

com.skype.skypeinstaller.plist

Which ones should I delete to eliminate this issue?

Thanks in advance,

John

They are all legitimate files. What do you see in Library/Application Support?

Download this program which was written by Thomas Reed, a long time poster. The program will search for malware/adware The program will do the work for you which makes it easy. There is no reason to leave it installed once troubleshooting is finished. The free version doesn't update itself. If you need it again, you can download it again.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac 10.10 and later

Malwarebytes uninstall

This is what I see in the folder 'Application Support':

Adobe

App Store

Apple

ApplePushService (with a red circle and a white - in it)

com.apple.TCC (with a red circle and a white - in it)

CrashReporter

iLifeMediaBrowser

iPhoto

Macromedia

Microsoft

ProApps

Script Editor

I downloaded Malwarebytes and it deleted 7 files.

I have restarted my Mac and uninstalled Malwarebytes.

I'll see if the pop up with 'Apple Wants to Make changes' is gone for good.

Thank you for your help!

Select your hard drive, then go to Library/LaunchDaemons and the file should be in there. If necessary, Finder/Preferences/Sidebar/Devices and check hard disks.

You are welcome.

You are welcome.

After running malwarebytes have you gotten the message "Apple wants to make changes"?

Malwarebytes has solved it for several people. If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest you do.

YES, Kathy! The problem was resolved by running Malwarebytes. Good luck!
