1) Kill the running process.
Using spotlight, type-in Activity Monitor and filter by searching starfieldUpdate and click Quit Process. Then, search offSyncService and click Quit Process.
If using Terminal, you may run the following command:
killall -9 offSyncService
killall -9 starfieldUpdate
2) Delete Starfield internet plugins and components.
Using Terminal, you may run the following command:
rm -rf ~/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/WbeTools64_14.plugin
rm -rf ~/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins/fileEditTool64_15.plugin
rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.starfield.update.plist
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/Extensions/\{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384\}/wbepaste\@starfield
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Mozilla/Extensions/\{ec8030f7-c20a-464f-9b0e-13a3a9e97384\}/zoomext\@starfield
rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Starfield/
3) It will require root password to remove the following files.
Using terminal, type in sudo su and authenticate, then continue:
rm -rf /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.starfield.backupservice.plist
rm -rf /Library/offsync
rm -rf /Applications/WBE\ Desktop\ Notifier.App
rm -rf /Applications/DesktopTools.App
rm -rf /Applications/Starfield
rm -rf /install.sh
This instruction removes all the traces of Starfield. Stay safe!
**Note: If you find Starfield application useful, you may keep the ‘WBE Desktop Notified.App’ and ‘DesktopTools.App’.
