Infinite HD access control to System Events

I'm having the same thing happen. I found InfiniteHD shows up on the Activity Monitor. I am not a techie. I selected InfiniteHD and in the "View" menu selected "Selected Processes". This window appears. I found I could also click on the "Parent Process" in the upper left, and a window appears for that process. There is a lot of info, but since I'm not tech savvy, I don't know what to do with it.

"An uninstaller can be found by going to Finder, click on the 'Go' menu, and choose 'Go to Folder'; type in ~/Library/Octoshape and press return." I found this using the following link and it worked fine: Akamai Community

So the pop out will never appear if we check "Hide" this item? And what is Infinite HD?

Hide does not remove it. It doesn't even hide it for some things.

You have to uninstall the app or at least prevent it from starting up at login by removing it from the Login Items.

This is rather interesting: What is Octoshape Infinite HD?

Apple has enhanced security in Mojave. Though not limited to AppleScript, whenever one application is attempting to control another application, a dialog will now pop requesting permission to do so.

In your case, that Infinite HD is probably running an AppleScript that is telling System Events to do something on its behalf. If you don't know what Infinite HD is, then deny permission.

I've been denying permission, but I don't want to do it forever. I'd prefer to either remove if not legitimate or allow if legitimate. Thanks for responding.

So, you have no idea what Infinite HD is, either?

I only found references to Windows searching the internet.

It didn't "appear" with the Mojave upgrade. The security changes in Mojave now require that apps wanting to control other apps must get the user's permission. It has been there since you installed it, doing its thing in the background. It is only now that the OS highlights its existence because of the security changes.

I think it is related to Adobe Creative Suite. I received two messages/warnings when Mojave first booted on my MBPro (within the hour). Both were relative to Adobe. One of the two warnings is InfiniteHD and System Events. I plan to get in touch with Adobe.

I've never wittingly installed the Infinite HD app. I started getting the same permission request pop-up after upgrading to Mojave. I use LastPass by Logmein. For several months LP would not automatically log me onto any website. LP said this was due to changes at Apple. This was corrected shortly before I downloaded Mojave. I wonder if the LP functions could be mediated by Infinite HD and that is what is triggering the permission request. Could this have anything to do with playing Netflix movies on my computer?

Like you, I've never knowingly installed the Infinite HD app.

That's what they do. Just don't install stuff that doesn't come from the App Store or from the developer's website.

If you download software from anywhere else, you run an extreme risk of it being overloaded with something you didn't want. Learn to not be a victim.

I also have been experiencing this annoying and concerning pop up since upgrading to OS X Mojave last week. Although I did not knowingly install it, Infinite HD appears to have "installed" itself on my iMac in early 2016 and, as noted by other posters, it has probably been running on boot up ever since, with the changes in Mojave now asking me to give it access to control System Events. I also found an Uninstall app in the Octoshape folder where the Infinite HD app is located. However I'm not sure whether this app is safe to use to uninstall the Infinite app as the Uninstaller also brings up the system warning pop up that it wants access to control System Events. While this may be necessary to uninstall the unwanted app, I'm not sure. Anyone have any further thoughts or info on this and best way to remove it? Also forgot to add that I ran Malwarebytes which did not identify it as malware.

Hi! Thanks for this! I am now running this same problem albeit when I try to uninstall Octoshape with the uninstaller I am prompted that "Not authorized to send Apple events to Finder." What could I perhaps do? Thanks for info!

Update: I used option 3 above and was able to get rid of the InfiniteHD pop up window. Thanks MichelleG

Manually remove the files:

1 Open a Terminal window by going to Finder, Applications, Utilities, and opening Terminal

2 Run the following commands in Terminal:

3 rm -rf ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/OctoshapeWeb.pluginrm -rf ~/Library/Octoshape
