i need to get a problem fixed i downloaded adguard app on my computer then removed it following the instructions . i am still getting a incoming connection on my mac i tried finding the app in the firewall options but its not their. please help.

What do you mean "getting a incoming connection"? Where and what exactly do you see?

 

[richard sila]

Firewall Settings:



Mode:Limit incoming connections to specific services and applications

Applications:

com.adguard.Adguard:Allow all connections

Firewall Logging:Yes

Stealth Mode:Yes

in system setting for firewall the app is not there so i can not block incoming connections to it. for my mac.

I assume this was copy\pasted from system report? Well, that doesn't mean you are "getting incoming connections".

You just have to refresh the system report window (cmd+R) and this line will disappear.

 

[richard sila]

its not going when i do that .

 

[richard sila]

do you mean + this to or just cmd r

 

[aegis]

 

[richard sila]

i did that just now its still there

 

[richard sila]

i dd that and it didn't change anything everything is the same still .

 

[richard sila]

will it change straight away or when i shutdown my computer then start my computer again it will not be there anymore

 

[aegis]

No, you don't have to reboot your mac.
This is not an actual permission anyway. I think this is how system report works, it just remembers if you had a permission for an app before uninstalling it, so if you restore it in future, the permission can be automatically granted or revoked (based on the previous choice).

If you really need to get rid of this line, just go ahead and install the Adguard app again, so it will create a permission. Then open system preferences and go to firewall options in "Security&Privacy". Delete the permission and only after that uninstall the app. That's gonna help.

cfprefsd is a part of OS X, you can google it.

 

[richard sila]

actually never mind i just checked activity monitor like 5 or 6 times this cfprefsd is not there anymore .

 

[richard sila]

so this is cfprefsd is not part of adguard ??

No, it's not.

how do i turn off sync services on my mac and does this affect downloading for example a apple update from the app store

 

[aegis]

I don't think there still is such an agent in the latest OS X.
