Why do I have SyphonInject on my Mac? I don't ever recall installing anything called SyphonInject. I just noticed that I have it in the Launchpad and it sounds menacing.

Is this something that comes preinstalled in a MacBook?

Is it okay to completely remove it?

No. It is a 3rd party app.

Yes, it is okay to remove it if you don't use it. It must have been installed by the previous owner.

If this MacBook is a shared computer and it's possible that some other user may be using the app, it's safe to leave it.
