I deinstalled Docker months ago and got a malware error today

[jamestbg]

I deinstalled Docker months ago (with the uninstall documentation on the main page) and today I got this message … WTF. I restarted my mac after around a week searched my Mac and there was nothing which directs to something like Docker.

That means you could not properly uinstall it and some binaries are still there.

There was a bug in the updater which didn’t update vmnetd. Maybe the bug affected the uninstallation as well. Check if you have this file:

sudo ls -l /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.docker.socket

and

sudo ls -l /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.docker.vmnetd

and delete if you still have them.

You can read more about the issue here:

Malware Blocked: “com.docker.vmnetd” was not opened because it contains malware

I see that the discussions here confuse people and after everyone shares they had the same issue and share the same screenshots as many users already shared, the correct link to the issue and recommended solutions are hard to find. It makes new users share the same link again and again which is lost again or open a new issue instead of joining to the existing issue. I’m going to close this topic and share the link again the last time to the issue on GitHub. Thank you for all the suggestions and…

and you can find a github repo link at the end if you want to comment, but if you already uninstalled Docker, you just have to remove the files thatare still left on your Mac.
