I'm not sure what solution you are seeking here. DetectX will record each and 
every time a key file is added or removed to/from selected locations, which 
includes all LaunchAgents, LaunchDaemons, Applications and a few other places 
where malware is often installed. When you see such a notice, if it's something 
you recall having allowed, then no further action is required. If it's a file 
that you cannot associated with an action on your part, then check the latest 
DetectX scan to see if that file or files are detected as malware. If not, then 
you should spend some time as you have here determining where it came from. 

At this point, you have solved the mystery and should simply go back to work 
and forget about it. DetectX did it's job and so have you.
