HazelHelper: each reboot, asks permission to open

Running Yosemite, I'm getting that "are you sure you want to open it" dialog for Hazel Helper each time I reboot.

Any suggestions on how I can make this go away?

It's a bug in OS X which is the result of installing Hazel machine-wide. You can remedy it by either installing Hazel for your user only or running the following on the command-line:
Code: Select all
   sudo xattr -d -r com.apple.quarantine /Library/PreferencePanes/Hazel.prefPane/

Note that the command requires you to escalate to root so use with caution.
