Is this a mac virus? background items added "Open"


I'm getting alerts on my mac. background items added "Open", which links to a terminal app called "Open" from unidentified developer.

What is that? Should I delete it? It's impossible to search google for as it's got such a vague name.


Solution

  • Here is a source connecting it to Adobe CC and explaining both how to verify it (i.e. making sure that it is not malicious) and removing it (if still intended): https://www.droidwin.com/remove-open-from-allow-in-the-background-on-mac/

    Side note: Getting more and more annoyed by Adobe software on a Mac, every day.
