How to remove items in Allow in the Background

I don't have a question but more of a solution for people having the same issue. In case you have an unknown app in your settings/general/login items/ allow in the background, especially the one called TPZ Solucoes Digitais, you may delete it from the system by using the following steps:

In Finder, go to the following folders:

/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchAgents (for items that affect all users)

Then find the items and delete them.

good luck

Add to that list:

~/Library/LaunchAgents

(items limited to that Account)

To summarize the comprehensive list:

~/Library/LaunchAgents

/Library/LaunchDaemons

/Library/LaunchAgents

Depending on the specific apps or processes invoked (not necessarily "TPZ Solucoes Digitais") it may be required to start the Mac in "Safe Mode" to delete them: Start up your Mac in safe mode - Apple Support. Otherwise they may just reappear.
