Thanks Dan, the terminal commands in the link worked a charm.

GoogleSoftwareUpdate was probably installed via Google Earth which I  
tried a few days ago and discarded as it was unhappy with my Pismo  
graphics card.

Did you try uninstalling the product, or have you just stabbed at  
its parts as you describe?

Removing GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent from login

[geraldcornish]

Hi,

Somehow recently I have clicked on something which has installed  
GoogleSoftwareUpdate and has put the Agent into my Login Items.


Try as I may it just will not go away!

Hiliting it in the login list and hitting the "-" below the list  
moves the hilite up one item but the GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent stays  
just where it is. Unlocking the padlock makes no difference.


I have now removed the software itself and the item now shows  
"unknown" instead of "application" but still it persists.


Any ideas why this is and how to remove the agent? Does anyone know  
where the login items data is kept - could I edit that file?


TIA Ged
