I simply cannot find a way to stop LogMeIn Hamachi loading at launch. I use it rarely but don't want to un-install it yet it bugs me that it's there.

Launch Window

As you can see, LogMeIn Hamachi is not here...

It also happens to not be in the inbuilt preferences panel. Hmm, almost like they don't want it to not startup...

Looking in activity monitor there is

Appmon

I can only assume "launchd(1)" Means the process happens at startup so that's my only guess. Any help would be appreciated. Otherwise I'm tossing it out the window and keeping the installer till I need it again... Thanks! :)

The parent process (launchd, process ID 1) is the second process started by the machine (after kernel_task, ID 0). It loads up launch agents (that run at login for each user) and launch daemons (that run at boot for the whole system).

What you need to disable or delete is the launch agent corresponding to LogMeIn Hamachi. It’s in the folder /Library/LaunchAgents/. You can go to the folder in the Finder by using the menu item Go > Go to Folder, and pasting in the path.

If you delete the file com.logmein.hamachimb.plist in the LaunchAgents folder, then log out/reboot, you’ll find that LogMeIn Hamachi won’t load when you log in anymore.

Alternatively, you can disable the launch agent with the Terminal:

sudo launchctl unload -w /Library/LaunchAgents/com.logmein.hamachimb.plist
