How do I uninstall an unknown program?

There's this unknown program/app called "Genieo" on my MacBook Pro.  I am unable to uninstall it or throw it in the trash.  What do I do?

That's an app that usually gives problems to users. See > http://www.thesafemac.com/malicious-genieo-installers-persist/

    If the program came with an uninstall program, as some do, use that. Otherwise, drag the program icon from the application library to the trash and empty the trash.

  • How to completely uninstall a downloaded program from my macbook pro

    I am trying to uninstall a program that I downloaded from the internet and do not use anymore. However the drag and drop into the trash bin does not do it because it is still in my applications folder. How do I completely uninstall it from my macbook pro?

    Typically there are a couple of ways.
    1. What you did followed by emptying the trash, and
    2. Use the uninstaller that may have been bundled in the package.
    If available, you should run the uninstaller provided by the application.

    So, if you see it in ->System Preferences->Users & Groups->[Login items], before you remove it with [-], control-click (right-click) the item and select Show in Finder to see where the program is located.

  • How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs

    How do I uninstall photoshop elements 6 (windows) when there is not option in add-remove programs.  I have looked on my hard drive extensively for a library or utility folder that would have an uninstall program, nothing.  I want to install Elements 9, but have found out that Elements 9 does not remove Elements 6, so I want to remove elements 6 first.

    Strange that PSE6 does not show up via the control pane.
    I wouldn’t worry about uninstalling it. The two versions sit happily side by side and PSE6 takes up hardly any file space compared with PSE9.

  • I have Lotus Traveler installed on my S5. It's having problems and I want to uninstall it but I'm unable to. How can I uninstall the program?

    I have Lotus Traveler installed on my S5. It's having problems and I want to uninstall it but I'm unable to. How can I uninstall the program?

    Are you unable to uninstall it from the app manager in the main settings menu?  How about long pressing the app in the app drawer and dragging up to the notification bar?  Does the app have a phone admin property checked in Settings-Security-Phone administrators?  Sometimes, if it does, apps will not uninstall until unchecked.

  • How do I uninstall the MSI DOT program.

    HI,
    I'd like to know how I uninstall the DOT program that comes with MSI VGA drivers.
    If I just uninstall the MSI driver, then install a nvidia driver, the DOT part of the old msi driver comes back. how do I remove this?
    Ive tried using the driver cleaner program, in between unstalling old driver, and installing new driver, this does not help.
    Thanks.

If you delete this file you will not get the DOT panel, you will have the Vanilla NVIDIA Control Panel without the DOT.
