Remove the unused Nudge app
Updated over 2 months ago

If you're seeing this security update reminder on some of our Macs that previously had another MDM, which has been removed.

The reason you are seeing this screen is that a service in the background of your device is still running on your device. You can check the location below to check this.
โ€‹

/Library/LaunchAgents/com.xxx.updateupgrade.plist
/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xxx.updateupgrade.plist

This service periodically checks "/Applications/Utilities/Nudge.app" against the JSON at "https://eam-nudge.s3.amazonaws.com/default.json". To stop this service, you can follow the steps below;
โ€‹

sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.xxx.updateupgrade.plist
sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xxx.updateupgrade.logger.plist

You can then delete the configuration file of this service.

sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.xxx.updateupgrade.plist
sudo rm /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.xxx.updateupgrade.logger.plist
