How do I find (and if necessary remove) the application that is trying to install, or otherwise correct the installation process? I have no idea as to it's source, and given time, the error messages keep piling up each time the computer reboots if I don't look at it regularly, since it's set to reboot automatically once a week. (I've had as may as 24 messages pile up on the desk-top on occasion.) This has been going on for quite some time, but don't think it is OSX related: more likely some other software since the message does ot come up if I log in as anotgher user, and also doe ot come up when I do a SAFE BOOT ('Shift' key held down on RESTART). Thanks for any help you can provide. oldscribe

Please try this, run Malwarebytes free, if you do not have it download from here. Hope this solves your issue https://www.malwarebytes.com/mac RonProchot

Thtre doesmot appeat to be a vefsion of Malwarebytes compatible with this version the Mac OS. Thaks for your assistance.
