[error] Please help: Finder crashing

Question

Dear Apple Discussion members,
I am having a major and annoing problem.
This morning I was updating "Security" via Software Update.
After that the Finder kept crashing every single minute,
showing the attached message (I had no such a bug before).
Any help would be very much appreciated.
I`m on MacOS 10.4.11, PowerBook G4.
Best,
Alessandro Segalini

Greetings BD and thank you for the welcome. I have only been working with Mac's for the last 2 1/2 years (and I love them very much!) and never had to remover / uninstall anything, so let me see if I get this. It is so simple as just opening the preference pane, right click and delete? Does that delete the stuffit program as well? Not that I have ever used it, because I haven't but I might have to go to the boss to make sure he is agreeable to me removing it. But since he doesn't know the first thing about computers he'll probably give me a blank look and tell me to do what ever I want to do. Also, for my information only, I do have a right click here at work on my main Mac, but I do not have it on the others in the office and my Mac Book Pro at home. I do not need to remove anything from those but without a right click how would I do it?
Thanks for all your help!
