Removing Teamviewer Plist From Mac
If you recently downloaded an application or extension, you may have unknowingly downloaded and installed Tapufind search and extension. Tapufind seems to be a search web browser extension for Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari. Tapufind installs a plugin in your web browsers and automatically sets your default search engine to Tapufind. This deceitful app does not install your Applications folder and contains files spread across macOS. To completely remove and report this program, follow the steps below.
1. First, go to:
- I'm guessing the plist you had me delete is specific to wallpaper/screensaver issues? Anyway, i'll do some testing and hopefully it won't sleep after an extended amount of time. This seems to be a recurring issue on my iMac for some reason, either the screen saver doesn't kick in, or the screen dims after a minute of use, now it goes to sleep, etc.
- It is a free Mac app that essentially does the above mentioned editing for you. It lets you hide and unhide the Dock icon for any app by simply dragging & dropping it on to the app’s interface. Drag & drop an app’s icon on Dock Dodger’s window and it will hide the icon, repeat the process to unhide it.
Drag the Five9 folder to the Trash icon. Or, press Control + Click (right-click) to get the dropdown menu and select “Move to Trash”.
/USER/Users/Shared
And remove the following files named similarly:
a_9E80063-1604-46F2-AA05-750B28D94A1A-8989-00009A2F1FE2AC3C
App_CEE73185-1F44-4ABE-80C5-DFE170DA851E-8989-00009A2E2CE1984D
Tapufind.app
App_ CEE73185-1F44-4ABE-80C5-DFE170DA851E-8989-00009A2E2CE1984D
2. Next, go to:
~/Library/LaunchAgents
And remove:
tapufind.plist
TapufindOd.plist
3. Finally, remove the search engine default in your web browsers (Safari, Firefox, Google Chrome) if needed. It is advised to reset your web browsers as well.
4. Reboot your Mac.
In order to report abuse of the Tapufind app, find out what you last downloaded and installed on your Mac. Repeat those steps to see if it leads you to and another installer DMG file that downloads. You most likely accidently clicked and installed the wrong installer file before downloading the file you needed. If you find this, report the abuse to the website admin OR post below.

Change all 9's to 10's for Teamviewer 10. (Also: I didn't need to use the two lines starting with 'sudo') |
