What does this mean? /System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist /System/Library/Private/Frameworks/PackageKit.framework/Resources/shove

Question

I got this as a Webroot alert:
/System/Library/LaunchAgents/com.apple.RemoteDesktop.plist
/System/Library/Private/Frameworks/PackageKit.framework/Resources/shove
Is this OK, or is it something I need to fix?
Thanks,
Jerry

Answer 1

If there is an associated event in the Activity Monitor or in Console logs showing
something is actually running in the background, then I'd not be too concerned.
However, the Remote Desktop should not show any activity if you have it shut off.
After all, it is a Client version and unless you are networked remotely to someone
who would be controlling your Mac from elsewhere, there's no need to use it.
The application itself, is not the client version you have in your Mac for free:
http://www.apple.com/remotedesktop/ the main deal administers client versions.

May be helpful to read up on various Mac OS X system sections to see when or
if you have odd experiences with them, where to go and look. I've not messed w/
Remote Desktop for several years, perhaps not since Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.x.
Questions and sometimes answers about Apple Remote Desktop, appear here:
Servers and Enterprise Software - Apple Support Community discussions.
Maybe you should contact the Apple person who looked into your Mac and ask
what was involved and why these messages keep appearing. The person should
be able to tell what they did and why they did it. And what to go into, and check...
They may have left something or another on or enabled, that needs to be addressed.
To see Webroot items does seem rather odd, since I've never had any messages
from that function; unless someone had a need to go in there. (But why?)
This thread was moved to Servers/Enterprise ASC, from an OS X ASC area, btw.
Also, after an update or other change in the system, may be reflected in Logs or in
the report generated by Disk Utility's repair disk permissions. These do not mean a
bad thing has taken place, necessarily. I'm unfamiliar with the recent one you noted.
In any event...
Good luck & happy computing!
