How did Google get on my Mac?
- by SamGoody
Am running a MacBook Pro, and have never installed Chrome, Google Earth, or anything blatantly Google.
Just installed Little Snitch (are there no good free firewalls for Mac?) and see that CURL is sending to Google every few minutes, as is a request to Google update and more.
Little Snitch doesn't say what program setup these requests.
So, how do I find out how G got on my machine, why is it sending so many requests (every minute or so) and how do I remove it (and is it there for reasons other than to help G spy on me)?
