How to completely remove Snap.do. Nothing here works.

Snap.do, what mire is there to say. Ad/Remove doesn't get rid of it. Reset Firefox to default does not either.
Windows Security Essentials and Malwarebytes are finding well over a dozen trojans. Is there a simple fix?

Snap.do is troublesome, but I might be able to help here.
First, run scans again with Malwarebytes and microsoft security Essentials (make sure you update them and run full scans).
After scanning, restart your computer.
Then, open up your control panel, remove anything related to snap.do, browser protect, etc. Restart your computer again.
Then go to the Add-ons manager in Firefox, remove snap.do. Restart Firefox.
Then open up Firefox, type about:config into the address bar, press Enter. Search for snap.do, Reset anything that says snap.do.
This should help, let me know if it doesnt

How to completely remove Application Manager 6

...and all associated files so I can reinstall it.
Here's the issue. The Application Manager on my Mac running 10.6.8 will not launch or update or install manually. This is the second time this issue has occured. The first time I was able to locate instructions as to how to completely remove it but I lost that link so I'm looking for some help.
Thanks!

To remove the Application Manager run the Cleaner Tool and from the drop-down in the top right choose Creative Cloud. Then select Creative Cloud Installer and click the button for 'Cleanup selected'. Then next time you try to download an application from the Creative Cloud Apps page (https://creative.adobe.com/apps) you will be asked to download the Application Manager again. An alternative place to get the Application Manager for Mac is from here http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4774.
I just ran through these steps on my Mac laptop and they worked.

How to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

how to completely remove mac os and install windows 7 on macbook pro with retina display 15 inch

There's not much sense in purchasing a Mac to run only Windows on it. Keep in mind that drivers for Windows are a secondary concern for Apple. While Windows will typicall run fine, things like power managment are not optimized under Windows (you'll get less time on battery while running Windows). You will also not be able to install firmware updates. Firmware updates might be necessary whether you run Windows or OS X as they are updates to the code in your hardware and are not OS-specific. You must be running OS X in order to install a firmware update. You can do this even if you boot off of an external drive with OS X installed on it. At the very least, you should keep just a small partition for OS X on your internal drive.

Anyone using rdiffweb - how to completly remove it?

I know rdiffweb uses sqlite so there must be some db's somewhere. I'm wondering how to completely remove all traces of rdiffweb from my system including the database. Using pacman will remove the pacman-insalled files, but there is a config script that needs to be run to start using rdiffweb so it'll create files outside of pacman

Do a locate for rdiffweb, its folders are probably named after the program.

How can I remove pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

How can I remove pages 5.0 to work with Pages 09 again?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you upgraded to Pages 5.0, the Mac App Store kept Pages '09 in case you want to use it again.
To access to Pages '09, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and open the old Pages version. To access to it quickly, you can drag the icon to the Dock.
I do not recommend you to remove Pages 5.0 or the Mac App Store will be always asking you to upgrade Pages. Also, Apple will add more features to Pages 5.0 in the future. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

How to completely remove McAfee

How can I completely remove an old non-functional McAfee virus protection app from my MacBook Pro? It seems that a ghost of it still appears at the top of the screen on the upper menu bar. I'm thinking that there may be other (hidden) components that could safely be removed too.

There should be an uninstaller in the Applications folder. However, if McAfee was removed improperly, by simply putting all the McAfee apps in the trash, then it may be gone. In that case, you have two options:
First, log in as an admin user (if you aren't already using an admin user account) and try executing the following command in the Terminal:
/usr/local/McAfee/uninstallMSC
There is a hidden Unix shell script there that will uninstall components of McAfee. When it runs, it will ask you for your account password. When you type it, nothing will appear in the window... that is normal, just type it anyway and press return.
If the Terminal complains with an error message saying "No such file or directory" that means this script is no longer present. In this case, you will need to try reinstalling McAfee, then remove it using the newly-installed uninstaller, found in the Applications folder.

How to completely remove the Creative packa

I've been dealing with an ongoing issue with my Audigy2 Platinum since upgrading from W2K Pro to XP Pro. Initially, everything worked well, however, when I opted to use the WebUpdate, things rapidly fell apart... I manually removed the folders and entries in the registry, and tried re-installing, to no avail. I was able to at least access the EAX, speaker settings, and mixer from the task bar icon, but... since last updating the drivers, even that is gone, tells me the programs are not installed. I've used the repair feature on my install CD, same problem. Diagnostics tells me that only the hardware and Directsound are working, everything else fails, running the fix has no effect...
What I need to know is a method to COMPLETELY remove everything regarding the sound card from my system, including the card, and then installing it once more, and hoping beyond hope that I can once more be able to use my card. As it stands now, regardless of what settings I employ in the Windows sound panel, only the front channels and the subwoofer work. The rest of the speakers do "hiss", but no sound is coming from them... Before updating the drivers, I was at least able to set things to 5., and get some sound from the speakers, and could use the EAX, mixer, and speaker settings panels, now I am stuck with only an effecti've 2. system regardless of what I do...
Short of resorting to formatting and installing everything from the ground up, which isn't a viable option, how can I go about getting this confounded thing working as it should once more?
Incidentally, the original issue cropped up nearly a year back, and contacting tech support resulted in the "cut and paste" responses. Remove driver, reinstall... did that, problem persists... Try option B... did that, problem persists... Remove driver, reinstall... did that, problem persists... Try option B... did that, problem persists... This went on for over a week until I finally got fed up and just li'ved with it. A recent game installation required me to update the drivers again, and this time, the webupdate did so, however, as a result, I effecti'vely have lost 95% of the capability of the card.
Please help, while I still have some of my hair left here...

Yes, that sounds quite familiar. Under W2K, things worked well, although I rarely used anything outside the speaker settings, EAX, and mixer, the rest of the package was there, and appeared to work. Once I upgraded to XP Pro, things still appeared functional, at least those parts I routinely used. As a part of the update, I set about updating other items, such as the software/driver packages for the Audigy, and that's where the fun started. Once I completed the "web update", the system hard locked on rebooting, and once it was restarted, I noticed right away that my sound was hosed. I started checking, and found that nearly all of the program apps were missing. Well, not exactly missing persay, but the links led to shortcuts instead of ap
ps.
Once these shortcuts were inspected, I had the same "empty exes" that you mention. Making a long story short, I eventually wound up uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers several times in order to get the taskbar functions back for some of the card's features, but none of the apps ever reappeared.
Recently, I installed a new game which required me to update to the latest sound drivers. I did so using the webupdate once more, and this time, it finished up without incident, however, I no longer have any controls available, and those mentioned in CTPanel, which is present now, are greyed out, and have no effect. Instead of my 6. system, with EAX and effects, I now effecti'vely have a non-EAX card, with only 2. for speakers.
This coming weekend, I plan to go through the process outlined in the link provided, and see if I can at least get the base features of the card back. I was considering doing a complete format, but this is a bit much, especially in light of the fact that only the sound has been effected. Your mention that you have already went this route with the same results has led me to think that the problem lies somewhere with the software and XP. I'd really hate to have to go through the aggravation of restoring the system, and since a good bit of it would be from backups, I would no doubt restore the initial problem.
It's sad that such a great product as the hardware is, apparently has some serious issues with either the software (many others have similar complaints) the OS it runs under, or both... Personally, I can do without the Media center and the rest of the software, but I do want the features of the card to at least function. I could have simply stayed with my old card and speaker setup, and saved myself a few hundred sheckles, and still have had about the same sound features as I now have...
I've worked with computers for years now, and this is undoubtedly the most perplexing, and vexing issue that I have had to date, and that includes administering a network running Windows NT, 3., DOS, Clipper, and beta releases of 95...
Sigh...

How to completely remove safari and all its files?

I have Windows Vista and I need to COMPLETELY remove Safari and ALL its files. It is important that it is completely removed, and I've already tried simply uninstalling (from "uninstall a program" in the control panel)it but it doesn't get rid of EVERYTHING safari. I think some of the files are damaged or something because Safari won't open. How would I do this?
Message was edited by: Friends of Apple

Just go into Control panel and Uninstall programs. Select Safari and select uninstall.

What anti-virus and firewall are you using? Some of them will lock your homepage, and some remember it long enough so that if you disable them, they will change it back once you reboot!

How to completely remove Apple's Java 1.6?

During the couple of days that the Java plugin 1.7 was blocked from the Safari browser, I ended up installing Apple's Java 1.6 to get Safari running Java (after the multiple system pop-ups that I need to install a 1.6 runtime). After Java released 1.7.0.11, I installed the the JDK from their site. This however, did not remove Apple's version and the 1.6 JDK is still in my directory with a gazillion symlinks strewn across the directory (created at the time of Apple's Java was installed) linking to files within Apple's version. How can I go about completely removing Apple's 1.6 (besides for reformatting my Mac)?

Unless you are a Java developer, you didn't need the JDK and should have just installed the JRE.

It is not unusual to have multiple Java versions installed on a Mac. That has been going on for a very long time.
Still, even Oracle recommends removing older versions, but then only offers an uninstall solution for windows.
I have never seen an authoritative set of instructions for fully removing 1.6. There are some instructions for disabling it on MacFixIt from last spring http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57408841-263/, but removal instructions begin by saying "Unfortunately there is no direct or easy way to uninstall Java, so once installed the only way to remove it and all of its components completely is to reinstall OS X."
After some discussions yesterday with another user, it was determined that even doing a clean install of OS X will include some Java 6 elements, although not the browser portions. I have no idea what functions these elements perform, other than alerting you that you when you need to install something, but they will still be there.

How do you remove snap to grid in Garageband 10.0.2? I can't find it anywhere.

Basically in older versions of Garageband, there used to be a setting under Control >> Snap to Grid and you could toggle it on and off. In this new version, I found that a lot of different, basic things that I knew how to do are no longer there, or are way harder to do. Snap to grid is one of those things, and I can't find it anywhere. Does anyone know how to turn off snap to grid?

Choose Edit > Snap to Grid from the "Edit" menu.
The "Snap to grid" option is not always visible. I am seeing it only, when a software instrument track is selected, the track editor window is open for that track, and a region in the track is selected.

How to completely remove self-compiled programs?

As we all know, software installed by pacman can be easily removed by
pacman -R softwarename
But if we download the source code from web, and install it by ourselves using
./configure
make
make install
Then if we want to delete it, how can we make sure that this is done completely? I mean, no junk files are left.
PS. Suppose we have deleted the source folder and cannot use
make uninstall

cyker - I read your question. You wanted to know what would happen if you put 'make install' in your build function. This indicates to me that you have little or no experience using makepkg to build Arch packages, because if you had, you would know what would happen if you did that. Every single piece of relevant documentation includes the recommendation repeated by flamelab earlier in this thread. I haven't read your tutorial, but I sincerely hope that you have included it too. I have my doubts though:

To summarise - you are looking for a solution to a problem that does not exist when a PKGBUILD is written correctly.
If everyone acts according to a give specification, that's fine. I won't post here. But sometimes you'll find badly-written install scripts that make compiled files scatter everywhere in your system. Of course you may make your system clean again by running make uninstall -- if
1. The author of the code successfully manage the details
2. You still have the source code(at least the makefile)
So initially my question has nothing to do with makepkg. I just wonder how to make the system clean if the source code, including the makefile, is lost. This makepkg tool is just proposed as a potential solution to my problem. But I tested it and found no mechanism is provided by makepkg to prevent make install writing files outside the building folder you want. So a badly-written makefile could still make your system a mess -- makepkg won't save that!
Even if PKGBUILD is written correctly, it is of no use. If the makefile want to write something elsewhere during installation, it still can do that.
I appreciate all of your answers. But my problem is based on a bad source code(perhaps makefile, but not PKGBUILD). Suppose, during make install, it will write junk files to /usr, /bin, /lib, etc. You don't want that happen, right? But you may not carefully read each line of the makefile of each software you install. I want a mechanism to make the whole compilation not generate files(final binaries and intermediate files and temporary files and config files) outside the building folder so that situation can be controlled. Or it will record each file generated in any methods so that when you want to delete them, you can delete them completely.
