Since updating to Mojave, every app I open generates a pop-up asking me something like 'Quest Agent wants permission to control xxxxx'. I can't find any other mentions about it on the internet. Anyone have an idea what this is?
macOS Mojave (10.14)
Hi,
I resolved the problem by doing this:
1. Utilities/Activity Monitor
2. I did a search of QuestAgent
3. Double Clicked on QuestAgent
4. Click on Open Files and Ports
5. Copy the address shown there (/Library/Application Support/Quest Software...)
6. Went to the address on Finder (Finder/Go/Go to folder)
7. Send the Quest Software folder to trash
As someone said, it is related to vWorkspaceWeb Connector
Hope this may helps.
Regards.

I had this same notification and did some digging around - it was being generated from an old piece of software: Quest's vWorkspace (a remote login application). Just uninstalling vWorkspace isn't enough - you'll have to dig around in Go to Folder for your system library for QuestAgent itself, and essentially delete that manually. Sorry I don't have the full location handy, but I can say that deleting QuestAgent there did remove these pop-ups.
Hey Sojourner,
Thank you very much for the step-by-step explanation, I followed your instructions, sent the Quest agent to the trash and I think (fingers crossed) this helped, as I haven't had the pop-up again. I do indeed use VWorkspace for remote access to my workplace, but I've tested it after removing the QuestAgent and it's still working!
Thanks again!
Great reply - followed it step by step and (so far) it's worked well.
Thank you - it was driving me mad ever so slowly 😁

This works however you'll need to add a "reboot" or restart right after moving questagent to trash.
