"Getbackup" seems to be a program that toast automatically downloaded. After being on my computer since 2009 (apparently), it suddenly popped up in a window asking me to do something, and I promptly uninstalled it.

Then, strangely, every time I log into my computer, the system asks me if I really want to open "Getbackup" because it was downloaded from the internet.

Clearly it's A. still on my computer, and B. trying to run every time I turn on. Both of these facts are annoying.

How do I get rid of it completely?

I couldn't find uninstall information for Getbackup, but you should be able to do a Spotlight search for any files that may be left over. If that doesn't help, look in these places:

System Preferences, Accounts, Login Items.

MacIntosh HD/Library/StartupItems/

MacIntosh HD/Library/LaunchAgents/

MacIntosh HD/Library/LaunchDaemons/
