How do I kill a daemon and not have it open up again if I can't find it in the LaunchAgents or LaunchDaemons? So I think I downloaded a program from Avatron called Airconnect. I'm not sure, but their website was purple when I looked it up. Anyway, now everytime I check my activity monitor, com.avatron.airconnect.daemon is taking at least 25% of my CPU. What have I done.

I tried looking up a solution online, and I realized it opens with launchd (I checked through activity monitor), so my research directed me towards System/Library/LaunchAgents, System/Library/LaunchDaemons, or Library/LaunchAgents. I tried looking through all of the folders, and I can't find the airconnect daemon. Please help me. I thought I was smarter than to get viruses. I am so disappointed in myself now.
The launch daemon of Avatron Airconnect is installed to /Library/LaunchDaemons. If you want to stop and remove it enter in Terminal:


Check if it is loaded:

sudo launchctl list | grep avatron

Unload it:

sudo launchctl stop /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.avatron.airconnect.daemon.plist
sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.avatron.airconnect.daemon.plist

To remove it:

sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.avatron.airconnect.daemon.plist





After installing Avatron Airconnect you can uninstall the app from the Airconnect menulet! This should also remove the launch daemon.
