Glimmer Blocker

Hello,

I have seen several threads based around Glimmer Blocker but none of the solutions have ever helped me.

As far as I am aware, I have never installed Glimmer Blocker and it doesn't show in 'library' at all.

Yet, whenever I install a software update (I am a Beta Tester) I get this error message every time. Anyone know how to stop it?

Thanks,
Adam

 

Brill. Will give this a go when I'm home.

 

Here is the report.

Thank you.

    Mar 15, 2017, 09:08:19 AM    Self test - passed

 

Yes, that's what I am experiencing.

I cannot find a trace of it anywhere, it doesn't show under system preferences.

I have tried the 'hard remove' option in the link above but it doesn't show anywhere under proxies.

 

No, that folder is empty.

 

Installed, when I search for Glimmer Blocker it finds no results

 

I know, me too. It doesn't effect anything that I can find it just really annoys me when I do an update and it gives me the error message (I'm a bit OCD like that...)

It possibly is just the beta version...

Thank you anyway for trying.

I've just looked in Activity Monitor under processes and it says GlimmerBlockerProxy running...
