What is it?

It is probably that Maxhub app or something very similar. Many companies produce the same "white label" driver software for different products.

Where did it come from?

Is that a trick question? It came from Guangzhou Shizhen Information Technology Co., Ltd. 😄

It's a large Chinese electronics company: http://www.cvte.com/en/about/index.html

Is a malicious?

Not in the least.

How do I uninstall it?

The first question should be is "do you need it?" It was obviously installed as part of some software install. It is most likely a driver for some kind of external device. If you remove it, that device will probably stop functioning. This is also true if you use that new Ventura user interface to disable it.

It is always a good idea to know what software is running on your computer and why. But don't attempt to uninstall anything in that dialog without finding out more first. Sometimes this kind of software is impossible to uninstall unless you do it properly.

Add the Etrecheck report as described in this user tip: How to use the Add Text Feature When Posting Large Amounts of Text, i.e. an Etrecheck Report

Thanks for the help. Having an unknown app from a Chinese company on my Mac makes me very nervous regarding security. Is this app spying on my?

No. It's not.

Don't believe everything you read on the news and the internet. China is many times over the world's largest producer of electronic equipment. If you stripped all the Chinese parts and software from your Mac, you would have very little left.

I guess my question is how can I find more informaiton about what it is and what it is doing. Can I find out what processes it's associated with and trace it to an app or specific driver? Can I find out when it was installed? Is there as least more information on a website somewhere that will explain it's function?

Yes. Unfortunately, my best suggestion is an app I wrote myself. The forum rules do not allow me to post links to my app.

Apple's new user interface in Ventura is not very helpful. It only displays the developer name for certain apps and only in certain situations. The developer name is embedded deep into a security certificate. You wouldn't be able to find it by searching your Mac.

This is a well-known company with apps in the App Store. It isn't malware and it isn't dangerous.

If it was really spyware it would not be named "Guangzhou Shizhen Information Technology Co., Ltd.", it would be named something like Tik-Tok. 8^)

Too add regarding Spyware

Unless your are deemed to be a " High Value Target " spyware targeting general users tends to " Too Low Value " of a target.
