Re: Epson printer gone, can't get it off my Mac

 

Thanks Bill and Barry ¡ª I got rid of the Epson printer from my Mac System.

Now how can I get rid of the Epson apps in launchpad from the computer? I tried dragging them to the trash bin, but that doesn¡¯t work. There are 9 of these items.

Thanks,

Carol

Top Results & Chrominum Malware Alert

 

Howdy.

I found two malware items on my MacPro 2019 this morning.

1. Top Results (some form of adware).

2. Chrominum (possibly a fake browser to mimic Google's Chrome??

I noticed both as items in System Preferences>Users & Groups>Login
Items.

I have only a suspicion that Top Results might have been installed
along with either an MPlayer or MPlayerX app for playing videos.

Chrominum could be linked to a legit web browser that is an effort to
avoid Google's constant tracking and copying of everything every
computer user does, but, it could be a piece of malware that mimic the
real Chrominum.

I've never installed or used Chrome or anything called Chrominum so
have no idea how it sneaked in.

Top Results may put adds into the Safari browser and change of Safari
Home Page works. I use Firefox and had not noticed any odd ads but be
get so deluged with them - who knows??

Do a search for Top Results removal info. It could take more steps
that one might think. The excellent EasyFind.app was a good help to
me.

Like the sergeant said in every episode of, "Hill Street Blues," "Be
careful out there."

This seems to be new. Last time I needed an avery template they were only available for windows; In had to roll my own.

Good news if it¡¯s true!

Right click, move to trash. Then empty trash if you like. Once trash is emptied, you cannot recover these files.

Free Time Tracker

 

Brian via Groups.Io wrote:? I am looking for suggestions for a free (or inexpensive) time tracker. Nothing fancy, just basic hours, tasks and expenses.


While not free either, this is a very capable app for $39.95 which allows you to set up client and user profiles, as well as customized invoices for timed jobs and expenses.

You can automatically round up to intervals you decide...



I've used this for years, and the current version is 3.0.9 ¨C though a few years old - it runs under Sierra OSX10.12. It's been very stable and usable. I've recovered so much billable time by using this for my work (time based) that it has paid its way over many times.
The new version for Catalina compatibility is in beta at this point... Developer feedback for support is good.

I don't know of any free ones. However, this one is only $20 and it's very impressive for the price.

And in Contacts, you can create a group, assign records to that group, and then print using various Avery or Dymo mailing label templates, chosen from the print popup.

And??claims to provide (via a separate app) the missing ability to do mail-merge from records in Numbers into a Pages document set up with tags for substitutions. (I have NOT tried it.) Apparently the '09 version of Pages had that ability, but it was removed and never restored; however, there are hooks ?for scripting substitutions, and that's what this app uses.

Go to your printers and scanners (or whatever it is called) preference pain (deliberate misspelling, since you are having a pain). On the left hand side you will have a list of printers, etc. Single click on the Epson and then hit the - button. You might have to give your password.
