Hello,

That Apple News (the icon with the three red diagonal stripes) installed itself some
time back on my mac.

Causing all sorts of problems.

Anyone know how to (totally) get rid of it ?

And, how to prevent its re-installing ?

Thanks,
Bob

If it's in the dock, remove it from the dock.
Control-click on the icon in the dock and you should see the option to do so.

If it's in your list of startup/login items, remove it from that list (users & groups).
Otherwise, it will re-open every time you boot or log in.
