A while back, I installed Boxee on my system <OS X Snow Leopard>, used it for a while, didn't like it, deleted it from
my machine <I thought>. I dropped it into the trash and thought that it would delete all files from my app folder.
Recently. I opened up Console app and discovered what I will show below, which has apparently been running since:

There is no application in that file and I have also looked into ~lib/Launch Agents, System/Launch Agents , Sys/Launch
Daemons and have not found any mention of Boxee. I searched my whole HD, folder by folder and cannot find anything to do
with Boxee.

Today I went into terminal with launchctl list and there is an entry that looks like this;

PID -
Status 1
Label tv.boxee.helper

If this is what is causing the above to run, what command do I use to delete this key ? Will deleting this affect any
other files/programs on my Mac ?

Thanks in advance for all help.

I'm not going to repeat my reply to you here. You'll have to find it in
the other newsgroup(s) to which you posted. In the future, do yourself
and the rest of us a favor: don't multi-post.

If you send the same message to multiple news groups separately, it
forces the rest of us to download your message multiple times. Also, it
means if someone replies to one of your posts in one news group, the
other places you posted the message will not see that reply! This is
known as "multi-posting", and is generally regarded as inconsiderate.

If you want to post the same message to multiple news groups, please
include all of the news groups, separated by commas, in the "Newsgroups"
line of a single post, like so:

Newsgroups: comp.sys.mac.system,comp.sys.mac.apps

This way the message is simultaneously posted to all specified news
groups. More importantly, when someone replies to your message in one
group, that reply is automatically sent in all other news groups to
which you sent the post! This allows all involved to see the entire
conversation, no matter which news group from which they access your
post. This is called "cross-posting" and is the proper way to do it.

--
Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM
filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting
messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google
Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts.
