I also need help getting rid of this. I've done everything in the thread and it keeps coming back....

Help! And thanks in advance!

This one thing is missing from this thread.
You can verify presence of autolaunching for SMSDaemon with terminal:

launchctl list | grep SMSDaemon

If result is xxxx - com.micromat.SMSDaemon
then:

launchctl remove com.micromat.SMSDaemon

This will remove SMSDaemon respawning by launchd

Then remove software itself:

rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.micromat.SMSDaemon.plist
rm ~/Library/Application Support/Syphone

No need to reboot, nor log out.

+1 Internets for you, my friend! This has been driving me nuts pulling 300+% of my CPU and lighting up the fans on my Mac Mini. I have no idea where it came from (none of the above software) but it is fixed thanks to you!

WHAT IS SMS DAEMON? The answer i think...

is that it is part of a discontinued app called Syphone. In the app there is an option you can choose so that it constantly searches for SMS messages as they appear...slows things down quite a bit. If you still have the app, you should be able to simply open it, and turn the option off.

Syphone is a freeware Macintosh utility for use with Apple's iPhone. The program installs on your Macintosh and does not alter the iPhone in any way.
