I have an app that keeps appearing and I don't know why. It is titled Popup in the dock. When I click on it, the app name is popuphelper, and popuphelper -> About says it's made by pharos systems. I can close it, but it comes back. I'll try and see what I do before it appears and get back to y'all. Does anyone know what this is? Is it important? Should I delete it from the Applications dir? Is it spyware that's gonna be harder to get rid of? Google and forum search don't seem to come up with much.
 
It seems to have to do something with printers and a network (wirelessly?).

Have a look at System Preferences > Accounts > your account > Login Items and see if it is there.
If so, you can remove it.

Ah. Must have come from the network printers at school. Thanks for the help!
