Uninstall Google's ksfetch
sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent.app/Contents/Resources/install.py --uninstall
@danielberlin
Copy link

install.py is called ksinstall recently.

If sudo /Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/ksinstall --uninstall

doesn't work, it is installed in the user's home so try:

~/Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/ksinstall --uninstall

After uninstalling and starting Android File Transfer (or Google Chrome supposedly) again, ksinstall is there again:

Library/Google/GoogleSoftwareUpdate/GoogleSoftwareUpdate.bundle/Contents/Resources/ksinstall --nuke

Also doesn't help to get rid of this trojan-like infection. Any ideas?
