How do I get rid of System Preference panels that are incompatible?

I need to delete 3 Leopard-incompatible System Preference panels. How do I get rid of them?
(I am currently working on making a new clean install, but I'm using an update-from-Tiger installation until I get my applications and preferences setup on this).

Thanks! I knew it had to be something easy; I just didn't try the right key-combination. For me, without Mighty Mouse, it's ctrl-click to equal a right click.

    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan, perhaps under a different name. Remove it as follows.

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    /Library/LaunchAgents/com.vsearch.agent.plist
    Right-click or control-click the line and select
              Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
    from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.vsearch.agent.plist" selected. Drag the selected item to the Trash. You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
    Repeat with each of these lines:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.daemon.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.vsearch.helper.plist
    /Library/LaunchDaemons/Jack.plist
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/Jack
    /System/Library/Frameworks/VSearch.framework
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/ConduitNPAPIPlugin.plugin
    Some of these items may be absent, in which case you'll get a message that the file can't be found. Skip that item and go on to the next one.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Uninstall any extensions you don't know you need, including any that have the word "Spigot," "Trovi," or "Conduit" in the description. If in doubt, uninstall all extensions. Do the equivalent for the Firefox and Chrome browsers, if you use either of those.
    Reset the home page and default search engine in all the browsers, if it was changed.
    This trojan is distributed on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect much worse to happen in the future.
    You may be wondering why you didn't get a warning from Gatekeeper about installing software from an unknown developer, as you should have. The reason is that this Internet criminal has a codesigning certificate issued by Apple, which causes Gatekeeper to give the installer a pass. Apple could revoke the certificate, but as of this writing, has not done so, even though it's aware of the problem. This failure of oversight has compromised both Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. You can't rely on Gatekeeper alone to protect you from harmful software.

  • How do i get rid of old rented movies that are a week over due when it was only a one day rental?

    hi, i have been trying to get rid of my rented movies that keep wanting to download and they are using up all my space on the ipod. because of this i have to restore my ipod every time i try to use it because of the two movies "The Proposal" and "Me, Myself, and Irene" and it is keeping me from watching a newly rented movie "Beowulf". i would like it if the two movies "The Proposal" and "Me,Myself, and Irene" were wiped off of my account so that i mat proceed with watching my other movies. this has been a hassle for me long enough. so please take the first two movies i mentioned off of my downlods list on my itunes account but not "Beowulf". thank you.

    Favicons usually expire after some time, but I don't know how long this takes.
    See also:
    *Bookmark Favicon Changer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/bookmark-favicon-changer/
    Try to remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain via "Forget About This Site" in the right-click context menu of an history entry (Show All History or History sidebar) or via the about:permissions page.
    Using "Forget About This Site" will remove all data stored in Firefox from that domain like bookmarks, cookies, passwords, cache, history, and exceptions, so be cautious and if you have a password or other data from that domain that you do not want to lose then make a note of those passwords and bookmarks.
    You can't recover from this 'forget' unless you have a backup of the affected files.
    It doesn't have any lasting effect, so if you revisit such a 'forgotten' website then data from that website will be saved once again.

  • How do I get rid of the grey panel that lists 'devices', 'shared', 'Places'

    The left hand panel in every folder window used to be closeable in System 10.3.9 but now that i've upgraded to Panther I don't see how to get rid of it. It wastes space and I never want to view it unless I decide to see it.

    that panel is called the sidebar. the only way to completely get rid of it in leopard is to collapse both the sidebar AND the toolbar. to do that click on the little oval in the upper right corner of the finder window in question.

  • How can I get rid of the Unwanted ads that are appearing in my e-mail display

    What appears to be the first e-mail is actually an ad. If I click on it it takes me to a website that is trying to sell me something. I can't get rid of it.

    I'm sorry, can you please respond with more information? I don't really understand your problem. Please try using another browser (Safari, Chrome) to do whatever you were doing. If the problem continues, then this refers to the website that you are connecting to.

  • How do I get rid of the "frequent" websites that are pinned to Mozilla on my taskbar?

    When I right-click the Mozilla icon that is attached on my taskbar, a tiny screen pops up that lists all of the frequently viewed websites, as well as "tasks". Is there any way to get right of the "frequent" section? I tried looking under options on the Mozilla page but with no luck....
    Hopefully you can help - Thanks!

    At the task bar (right at the bottom of the screen), do a right click then select "Properties"
    Flick over to the "Start Menu" tab, un-tick "Store and display recently opened items in the Start menu and the taskbar".
    Click on OK.

  • How can I get rid of 130+ unread texts that are actually read?

    My iPhone isn't recognizing when I have read a text message. It's up to 130 now and it's taking up all the storage on my phone.

Idk what else to do but now my phone isn't even receiving or sending messages consistently. It's an iPhone 4 and I have had it updated to iOS7 for a few weeks now.

  • Problem,how do i get back my system preference? i think i delete it my mistake.

    problem,how do i get back my system preference? i think i delete it my mistake.

    did you delete it from your dock or did you delete it completely from the computer
    if it has just been removed from your dock all you have to do is go into your application folder and drag the system prefrences icon back to your dock .. if you are running an older version of osx go into finder click applications and find the icon for system prefrences there .. if you have snow lepord you can get the icon in the application folder on the right side of your dock
    if it has been deleted completely from the computer use the disks that came with your computer to reinstall it
    if your too nervous to do it yourself you can always make an appt with an apple store in your area at the genius bar and they can probably get it back for you

  • HELP! How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers?

    How do I get rid of the volume noise that plays when I switch from internal speakers to external speakers? I'm trying to watch something on my TV through an HDMi cable (& apple adapter) and when I go to switch the sound control in preferences from internal speakers to SONY TV, the annoying "popping" noise occurs on my TV's speakers.

    Go to Edit > Preferences > General > Import Settings and check the box for error correction, and then try one of the problem CDs again.

  • How can I get rid of a whirling circle that stops me using a document?

    How can I get rid of a whirling circle that stops me using a document?

    Hi Sally, let's start with this to see if it makes a difference...
    Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
    Restart & test.
