  • HT5744 Anyone knows how to uninstall this update?

    Hi
    I want to uninstall this update from my system, (knowing security risk, doesn't care security if hardware doesn't work)
    I know that this update was compiled with a unestable and buggy Oracle Java version not RC, was beta and Apple put it like RC.
    Please how to uninstall this update?

    The Software update version is bonked, the latest bug fix is here for 10.6 users.
    https://support.apple.com/kb/DL1573
    Pasting: java -version into Terminal and pressing Enter should reveal this after the update which fixes the bug.
    java version "1.6.0_51"
    Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_51-b11-457-10M4509)
    Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.51-b01-457, mixed mode)

    My safari browser seems to have been taken over by a malicious program called only-search.  Does any one know how to uninstall this program from safari?  I am running osX 10.10.

    There is no need to download anything to solve this problem.
    You may have installed the "VSearch" trojan. Remove it as follows.
    Malware is always changing to get around the defenses against it. These instructions are valid as of now, as far as I know. They won't necessarily be valid in the future. Anyone finding this comment a few days or more after it was posted should look for more recent discussions or start a new one.
    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Step 1
    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.
    Step 2
    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
    Restart the computer and empty the Trash. Then delete the following items in the same way:
    /Library/Application Support/VSearch
    /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.
    The problem may have started when you downloaded and ran an application called "MPlayerX." That's the name of a legitimate free movie player, but the name is also used fraudulently to distribute VSearch. If there is an item with that name in the Applications folder, delete it, and if you wish, replace it with the genuine article from mplayerx.org.
    This trojan is often found on illegal websites that traffic in pirated content such as movies. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow.
    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 the Internet criminal behind VSearch 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.
    *If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination  command-C. In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder...
    from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

  • How to uninstall Virtual PC from mac Lion?

    Hi,
    I installed a Virtual PC (7 version) machine on my mac system yesterday but I found it cannot work because the compatible issue, my system is OS X mountain lion. It is always saying "Power PC applications are no longer supported". Now what I want is just uninstall Virtual PC from my mac and I do not want to bother using it. Because what bothers me is that the panel show in the Finder is not like previously shown. There are not the left favoraties column shown any more. I cannot go to the right folder to see files and it create so big trouble! I just want everything back. Another thing is that everytime when it starts up, there will be a box pop up saying like "the virtual machine cannot start up because the setting is not right" things like this. I guess the Virtual PC disorder some settings in OS X system.
    So I only want to unistall this Virtual PC. I guess it can not be remove by just simpy delete the icon in applciations, am I right? I find the "Uninstal Virtual PC" icon in the dmg package, but when I dounble click it, it also shows "You can't open the application "Uninstal Virtual PC" because PowerPC applications are no longer supported"! which drives me crazy. Does anyone know about how to uninstall Virtual PC from mac for this situation? I appreciate your help.
    Thanks,
    Amanda

    I just followed the instructions and clicked contunue.  I guess I just finished part 1, the installing part. The details are:
    section 1: installing virtual PC
    section 2: setting up virtual PC
    section 3: setting up windows
    In Section 1 you will install the Virtual PC for Mac application and supporting files. You will need to restart your computer at the end of Section 1.
    Section 2 covers personalizing Virtual PC for Mac and the installation of Windows.
    In Section 3, you will configure Windows."
    I clicked continue to let it install (section 1). After that, Mac restarted and it never asked me to set up virtual PC. All the problems aboved mentioned came up afterwards.
    Did I do anything wrong?
    Thanks.

    Hello @HEIRSON ,
    To get your issue more exposure I would suggest posting it in the commercial forums since this is a commercial product. You can do this at Commercial Forums.
    Even though this is a Commercial product, click on start, control panel, go to programs and features. Uninstall programs from there.

    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi mike6221
    Apart from loss of data issue, a hard reset by keying in *#7370# followed by 12345 (default Nokia lock code) returning device to "out of the box condition" should do the job as N95 does not have User Data Preservation feature and all user installed applications will be deleted.

    Apple does not support intermediate iOS updates...you can only update to the latest iOS version that will run on your iOS device.  Therefore, you have to update to iOS 8.1, not 7.1.2.  The files appropriate to your device are only available in 8.1.

  • How to hide installed application from Software Center 2012

    Hello,
    I would like to ask you whether it is possible in Software Center 2012 to remove the record of program that was installed successfully from application catalog.
    Currently it stays visible in SC as "Available" constantly informing users with popup that there is new software available for installation. This may be disturbing behavior for users.
    Technical specialist in our company would be very glad to know some workaround. Is there some xml file or registry on user computer that could be used to remove such record from Software Center 2012?
    Thank you very much for any advice!
