<p>I swear this is making my macbook run slower than it used to. Is this happening to anyone else? </p>
<p>And has anyone tried uninstalling it? I had the same problem with that STC manager last year and after uninstalling it i was all hunky dory but i’m afraid that since this manager is different (is it?) the upper echelons of ucla will come down to hunt me.</p>
<p>its apple remotely forcing macbooks to slow down, thus making you more likely to want to upgrade to a new one come tuesday. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>What happens if I uninstall the UCLA Policy Key?</p>
<p>You can uninstall UCLA Policy Key at any time; however within minutes you will then be unable to access the Internet. You will be required to reinstall the Policy Key as if you are a new user to gain Internet access.</p>
<p>the policy key uses a minute amount of processing power… its just a small background process that checks for antivirus (since there’s nothing else to check for on a mac).</p>
<p>open the activity monitor, then look around. it might be sophos (if you’re using it), since sophos is sometimes stupid like that, or it might be something else.</p>
<p>I’m not sure what the OS X version checks for since I’m running it without any anti-virus installed.</p>
