Do you have an external hard drive attached? It appears that this software is sometimes included with the LaCie drives; in that case, you probably inadvertantly installed it when setting up the hard drive.
The problem with many external hard drives is that some mfrs include some or a lot of different softwares - none of which are necessary. If you did not format the drive when you first set it up (that would have included wiping the external drive), then the software is there and installed. That software also sometimes can cause a major problem (such as the recent debacle with WD drives and their software), so if you can find a way to get rid of it without wiping your drive, go ahead and do it.
Thanks; I see what you mean. Of course, the drive in question was a DVD reader (which I bought "just in case" for my MacBookAir). As a result, no initialisation or formatting was done (nor necessary).
As I said, deleting the software from my Library / StartupItems folder, solved my startup angry note! I only intended to use the drive to install Adobe CS6, which I can probably do from a download, but as I've got the DVD and licence, I thoought I'd use the drive. Typically, too, I plugged the DVD reader in before I switched on, and I'm guessing that the software was installed automatically (the DVD reader takes a while to appear on the desktop, so there's a bit of a clue there that it's up to something).
I notice that some "solutions" to this problem on the web, suggested that, in order to uninstall Intego Backup Assistant, especially if you do what I've done, then you had to reinstall the software, stand on one leg in the corner, put on a woolly hat and sing "Rule Britania", etc. This might well be true for a formatted drive, but for a DVD reader I can't see it'll be necessary.
Look on your mac and uninstall the intego software (probably called Family Protector or Antivirus), make sure to use the real uninstaller. It leaves behind a lot of rubbish after the uninstall, but if you want we will remove it by hand. If you do not find it look for a software with "download" in it's name.
As I said in my previous post to babowa, this is a DVD reader (not something that was "installed" - just a plug and play device), so by deleting the Intego Backup Assistant folder from my Library / LoginItems folder, the problem is solved.
OK, I meant on your Mac! But now it is not installed, it is probably a sales try (because they only have a free trial period). Disconnect the DVD, then download the Etrecheck app from www.etresoft.com, make an etrecheck list and copy/paste the list here to see if there is something on your mac.
PALO ALTO, Calif., March 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Next Insurance, the leading digital insurtech company transforming small business insurance, has signed a definitive agreement to acquire AP Intego, a digital insurance agency providing a suite of small commercial insurance products to some of the largest small business software ecosystems in the U.S., including Intuit, Gusto, Square and Toast. AP Intego's platform provides an embedded insurance offering alongside its partners' core products. With a foundation built around many of the leading payroll software providers, AP Intego delivers a digital buying experience for pay-as-you-go workers' compensation insurance to tens of thousands of small businesses. Next Insurance and AP Integowill help streamline how small businesses shop for, purchase and pay for products that help insure their livelihoods, their employees and their assets.
"At Next Insurance, we're modernizing a centuries-old industry to better provide small business owners with convenience, value and choice," said Guy Goldstein, CEO and co-founder of Next Insurance. "We're excited to welcome the AP Intego team to Next Insurance. This acquisition marks an industry-defining milestone in our efforts to build a market-leading one-stop-shop for small business insurance. The combination of AP Intego's experience in insurance product distribution through partners and pay-as-you-go infrastructure combined with our approach to digital customized coverage, will provide more customers with seamless access to innovative insurance products."
The insurance industry has been traditionally slow to innovate and for decades small businesses have remained an underserved and fragmented market, proving there is a need for a modern, digital-first insurance provider that better supports their needs. Next Insurance will offer its products on AP Intego's platform alongside an established stable of carrier relationships. Next Insurance will provide AP Intego's partners and customers with additional coverage, pricing options and a streamlined insurance experience. Together, through AI-driven pricing, instant purchasing capabilities and always-on, pay-as-you-go service that automatically adapts to a business as it changes, Next Insurance and AP Intego will offer a modern upgrade to small business insurance.
"As an integration partner with Next Insurance and AP Intego, we appreciate the great value they bring to our small business customers," said Olivier Bartholot, Director Product Management Online Payroll at Intuit. "Next Insurance and AP Intego have created solutions that cater to the needs of small business owners and by teaming up, they will further our strategy of delivering Intuit customers an innovative insurance buying experience, offering more choice and flexibility, within the Quickbooks platform."
"We built Gusto's people platform to simplify the complexities of running a business by helping them to pay, insure, onboard, and support their teams. One of the most complex and difficult tasks of running a business is identifying and setting up all the types of insurance that are needed to operate," said Tomer London, Gusto Chief Product Officer and co-founder. "AP Intego has been a fantastic partner for providing commercial insurance to Gusto's customers, and by combining with Next Insurance, we'll be able to deliver more choice to businesses so it's even easier to find and implement the right solutions based on their needs."
Next Insurance experienced record growth in 2020 further solidifying the company as the insurtech leader for small businesses. The company raised $500 million in venture capital over the last 16 months and acquired Juniper Labs in December, making AP Intego its first insurance distribution acquisition. The acquisition of AP Intego brings Next Insurance's small business customers to over 200,000.
AP Intego employs 160 people in and around Waltham, Massachusetts, Rochester, NY and other parts of the U.S., bringing Next Insurance's headcount to nearly 600 team members across four major offices. As part of the agreement, AP Intego will retain its partnerships with leading US small business insurance carriers and its focus will remain on delivering choice, the right coverage and competitive pricing to its partners and their small business customers. The close of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions.
