How do I completely uninstall ClamAV from my system?
Hello folks,
How do I completely uninstall ClamAV from my system?
I trashed the application, but once in a while, the system console pops up with the "ClamAV update process" trying to update ClamAV. How do I safely completely get rid of ClamAV from my system?
Cheers!
If you are talking about ClamXav, this you would need to follow these directions as posted on his website.
15. How do remove ClamXav and the associated engine?
First, you must download the Engine Remover. When you unzip it (making sure to use either OS X's built-in unzipper or the most recent Stuffit Expander or similar), double click clamavEngineREMOVER.command. This will open up the Terminal where you'll be asked to enter your Admin password. The rest takes care of itself.
Finally, drag the ClamXav application from wherever you installed it, to the trash.

Call AppleCare & ask to talk to "Account Security". They will fix while you're on the phone.

How do I COMPLETELY uninstall LogMeIn from OSX 10.9.3 MacBook
Someone suggests running uninstaller.sh in the terminal. Will that work? How do I do that?
I installed the program in Snow Leopard, if that makes a difference.
In Maverick, LogMeIn's "uninstaller.sh" shows as a "locked" file that can be copied as "unlocked."
RegardsYou shouldn't need to run a shell script to uninstall logmein - the first step would be to do so according to the developer's instructions
Note: you may need to reinstall Logmein to run the uninstaller. -

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
1. AppZapper
2. AppDelete
3. Automaton
4. Hazel
5. AppCleaner
6. CleanApp
7. iTrash
8. Amnesia
9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

How to completely uninstall labview from one computer and avoid to occupy the licence
Hi,
Usually one labview can be installed into three computers. Now i have already installed all and am going to install one into another computer. So I have to uninstall one of three and want to know how i can completely uninstall the labview. Thanks so much for your help.
Solved!
Go to Solution.use NI License Manager to de-activate the license. That will free up the NI database entry so that you are OK to activate the same license on a new machine (you really don't need to uninstall LabVIEW- the lack of activated license will prevent use.) As I remember reading the License Agreement, you can do this up to 4 times per year.
If you do not have access to the old machine (say, because it fell off the roof or something like that) call NI service and they can manually delete the activation.

How do I completely uninstall intego net barrier? I can't install Norton Antivirus 2012 until this is off my computer. And I can not get it off my Computer. ANyone?
Intego has their own uninstaller which is the best thing to use. Otherwise, see the following. From a practical point of view you really don't need any such software on the Mac.

What is the best way to completely uninstall Aperture from a MacBook Pro.
I just ordered a new MacBook Pro and I want to remove it from my older MacBook Pro.Deleting the application from your /Applications folder is sufficient. There are sample projects in /Library/Application/Aperture you may want to get rid of as well, as they take up a fair bit of space.
