Yesterday, my computer started lagging and freezing. I use a high performance MacBook Pro, so this was odd. I tried to restart, but I was stopped by a pop-up that said "NexThink" software was being installed and restarting would cause data loss and performance issues. The popup disappeared in less than a second and my computer restarted.
Sure enough, when I checked my task manager logs, a handful of processes from "NexThink" were running, which I'd never seen on my machine before.
I was also one of the Mac users whose in-office time wasn't accounted for in the first quarter. So, while I'm hoping this is a fix to that issue, it seems like it's mostly just employee monitoring software.
