ProToGoBackground is a launchDaemon component embedded within TechTool Pro, Micromat's comprehensive Mac maintenance and diagnostic utility. TechTool Pro provides disk repair, disk and system optimization, security scanning, hardware diagnostics, and performance monitoring tools. ProToGoBackground is a system service that runs in the background to support TechTool Pro's operation and should not be updated separately — it is part of the larger TechTool Pro application package.
