How do I remove McAfee Site Advisor from OS 10.7.5?

I cancelled the McAfee Security Suiteweeks ago but the site advisor is still active and blocks sites such as Angie's List even when you tell it to enter anyhow. I suspect that it causes erratic screen moving and slows the computer.
I have dragged it to the trash bin repeatedly, but it persists in popping up.
How can I remove it?

That is a Windows virus. It cannot in any way affect your Mac, and is not the cause of the speed problems you're having. You should be able to freely delete the files that are infected with that virus, to avoid spreading it to a Windows machine accidentally.
I'm a bit confused, because your profile indicates that you have a PowerBook G4 running 10.3.9, while you posted in the Mountain Lion (10.8) forum. If your profile is actually out of date and you're running Mountain Lion, I have heard anecdotal reports that the current version of Sophos has some problems with ML. I have no personal experience with that, so I can't say whether it's true or not, but removing Sophos would be worth a try. For other performance-related troubleshooting steps, see my Mac Performance Guide.

How do I remove top site preview from Bookmarks Bar

Last night received message from Safari asking whether or not to update Safari settings, which, in a pinch, unfortunately I did. I now have a top site preview in my Bookmarks Bar and I do not want it there. I have tried everything to get it out, including the most obvious: unchecking "show top sites" in Safari preferences, restarting Safari and computer. Also, going to Utilities, Terminal and pasting in script for command found searching on subject. Nothing works. Does anyone know how to get this top site window out of my Bookmarks Bar? I have spent a great deal of time on this and am quite frustrated as a result. Thank you.

Hi
so if you click/hold just above the 'address' text - or anywhere in that dark bluey-grey band above the column headings... you should be able to drag that upwards so that the site preview area disappears leaving only the dark search bar.
Maybe it's not that - I didn't mention it right away because that 'setting' is common to every bookmarks view/collection, rather than " The top site preview appears ONLY when I select "Show all bookmarks," and THEN select the Bookmarks Bar "
If not that, do remove the safari plist file - keep it safe & you can easily replace it with safari quit if there's no change. Safari will create a new, default version when it next starts.

How do I remove a site from a domain?

I have two domains from GoDaddy.com that I forwarded to my .Mac site. How do I remove the site from one of the domains while keeping it on the other domain? And how, incidentally, can I use the second domain for another site.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
Frank

Just log into the GoDaddy web forwarding section and cancel the forwarding for the site that you don't want linked.
If you want to link it to a new site, publish that site when it is ready and set up web forwarding to that particular site at GoDaddy. So you would forward to web.me.com/username/sitename.

The McAfee site advisor used to work brfore but no longer does with the new version of Firefox. How do I revert to the olderversion or get the McAfee site advisor to work?

The McAfee site advisor used to work before with earlier versions of Firefox but now no longer does since upgrading to the latest version. It still works with Explorer so it a Firefox version compatibility issue with McAfee. The PC runs on Microsoft Vista.

I am sure that it is only their toolbar that is incompatible. To verify that and ask if they currently support Firefox 5 with their add-ons, go to the following address and post your question(s). Changing their toolbars to be compatible with any browser is their responsibility.

Other than the toolbar, the rest of your security application should be working as expected, but you can also ask that question at the above link. Firefox has built-in malware/phishing protection, if that is what is provided by their toolbar, another question that you can ask at the above link.

How do you remove a web site from popular list?
If you mean from the Safari menubar item "Popular"
Choose "Show All Bookmarks" from the Bookmark menu in the main menubar, or click the icon for that in Safari's menubar -
The page that opens should show a list of Bookmarks. In the Left column, click the item under Collections named Bookmarks Bar.
In the new view, locate the folder named Popular and click the reveal triagle to the left of its name - it will open and reveal all the items listed in Popular.
Find the one you want to remove, click it once to select it, then press the Delete key on the keyboard.

How do I remove my iWeb pages from the Home folder so I can publish to a new host?

I have moved my MobileMe site to a new service (GoDaddy). The basic transfer went very smoothly. With one tiny hitch: the new URL text.
IWeb places web pages in folders, each folder being a "site." The name of the root folder automatically becomes a "pointer" to the web site -- and part of the URL text.
My current root folder is named DavidChartrand -- me. So..... when I published everything over to GoDaddy the text "DavidChartrand" was attached to my URL.
Instead of seeing www.davidchartrand.com in the URL bar, visitors see: www.davidchartrand.com.com/DavidChartrand
GoDaddy staff says this is simply a quirk in iWeb's design. Fine, but it's annoying. Is there anyway I can keep using iWeb but somehow remove the root folder.....that is, remove my site pages from the root folder and and then re-publish? GoDaddy tech support swears it has many former MobileMe/iWeb users who have done this successfully but offered had no idea how.
David

The way iWeb publishes its websites, in its own folder, the normal URL is http://www.domain_name.com/Site_name/Page_name.html. This is a normal URL for any web host.
If you want to get rid of the site name you will need to publish your website to a folder on your hard drive and upload only the contents of the website folder to your server with a 3rd party FTP client like YummyLite, Transmit or Cyberduck. That will get rid of the site name in the URL.
Of course remove the existing website foldr from the server beforehand.
I believe the folder you publish to on GoDaddy is named public_html. You might try renaming your website to "public_html" and publish to GoDaddy. In theory iWeb will see the website's folder already on the server and publish the website file into it.
It works that way with HostExcellence.com which names the home folder the same as the domain name associated with it. This tutorial explains more about it: iW16 - Using HostExcellence.com with iWeb

How can I remove a Input device from my Mac?

Hello, I would like to know how I can remove a input device from the Sound area in System Preferences. I installed Wiretap Anywhere a sound input program for my Mac and did not realize It was not supported for Moutain Lion. I put the application in the trash and then emptied the trash can. Now whenever I try to start GarageBand or a program like that it crashes my computer. In the Input tab of Sound (System Preferences) It is listed as Wiretap: System Audio.
I would like to remove this from the Input tab so I can use my Mac reguarly. Any Ideas on how to fix it?
Thanks,
Justin

Any third-party software that doesn't install by drag-and-drop into the Applications folder, and uninstall by drag-and-drop to the Trash, is a system modification.
Whenever you remove system modifications, they must be removed completely, and the only way to do that is to use the uninstallation tool, if any, provided by the developers, or to follow their instructions. If the software has been incompletely removed, you may have to re-download or even reinstall it in order to finish the job.
Here are some general guidelines. Suppose you want to remove something called “BrickYourMac.” First, consult the product's Help menu, if there is one, for instructions. Finding none there, look on the developer's website, say www.brickyourmac.com. (That may not be the actual name of the site; if necessary, search the Web for the product name.) If you don’t find anything on the website or in your search, contact the developer. While you're waiting for a response, download BrickYourMac.dmg and open it. There may be an application in there such as “Uninstall BrickYourMac.” If not, open “BrickYourMac.pkg” and look for an Uninstall button.
You may have to log out or reboot in order to complete an uninstallation.
If you can’t remove software in any other way, you’ll have to erase your boot volume and perform a clean reinstallation of OS X. Never install any third-party software unless you're sure you know how to uninstall it; otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
Trying to remove complex system modifications by hunting for files by name often will not work and may make the problem worse. The same goes for "utilities" that purport to remove software.
