Infinite HD access control to System Events

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

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.

This worked for me:

1. Run the following commands in Terminal:
2. rm -rf ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/OctoshapeWeb.pluginrm -rf ~/Library/Octoshape

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.

If you right click on it you will get a "Show In Finder" window. Perhaps that will help resolve what it is.

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?

I've noticed the same thing. After locating "Infinite HD" under "Login Items" I "control"-clicked on it and used "Show in Finder" to locate the file. Now I see it, but if I move it to the trash will that remove it from my computer?

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.

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'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.
