After upgrading my MacBook Pro to Mojave, on every boot-up, I get this notice:

"InfiniteHD.app" wants access to control "System Events.app". Allowing control will provide access to documents and data in "System Events.app", and to perform actions within that app. [Don't Allow] [OK]

InfiniteHD is made by Octoshare. AppClean/Uninstaller does not detect it. Spotlight Search does not find it. I do not know how to edit my start-up routine. All I find on the internet are fake "uninstallers" that promise to uninstall anything you are looking for (and install something worse). There is advice that this is adware and one source says it is an add-on to Chrome which I do not have installed. I finally found where it is by checking "System Info".

It is listed under "Legacy Software". So now I don't know what to think - should I allow it to have access or should I delete it? Thanks
