Removing Safari plug-in

Today I was futzing around and saw a website that advertised videos including movies, tv shows, etc. I thought I would take a gander at it just to see how it worked. When I started a video, it said I had to install a Safari plug-in. Without think too much, I went ahead and installed the plug-in and the movies started working (spanish subtitiles). I'm done with the site and would like to remove the plug-in as I'm a bit concerned about malware.
I found a list of the plug-ins within Safari, but can't find the said plug-in. Should I be concerned about the plug-in if I never go back to the website? And if I were to find the plug-in, how would I uninstall it?

Uninstall SIMBL as follows. Back up all data before making any changes.
Triple-click the line below to select it, then copy the text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V), and press return. A folder will open. From that folder, delete the items listed below (some may be absent.) You may be prompted for your administrator login password.
Application Support/SIMBL
InputManagers/SIMBL.bundle
LaunchAgents/net.culater.SIMBL.Agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/SIMBL.osax
Log out and log back in.
Make sure you never reinstall SIMBL. It’s likely to come bundled with another third-party system modfication that depends on it. If you want trouble-free computing, avoid software that makes miraculous changes to other software, especially built-in applications. The only real exception to that rule is Safari extensions, which are mostly safe, and are easy to get rid of when they don’t work. SIMBL and its dependents are not Safari extensions.

How to find Safari plug-in installed on a specific date?

I posted this question in the wrong community, so am re-posting here.
I want to remove a Safari plug-in. I know how to find the plug-ins that have been installed (Safari > Help > Installed Plug-Ins), but the names of the plug-ins mean nothing to me. I do know, however, when the plug-in (the one that I want to remove) was installed. Is there a way to see the list of installed plug-ins by install date? Thx

Do you back up with Time Machine? If so, scroll back through the snapshots of the plugin folders until you find the most recent change.

Safari Plug-Ins - what is OfficeLiveBrowserPlugIn ?

Does anyone know about the file called OfficeLiveBrowserPlugin.plugin and if I need to keep it?
I have Microsoft Office 2008 v.12.2.3, Safari 4.0.4, OS 10.6.2
Is it a plug that is used if you use MS Office Live for a website, or is it some kind of bad thing Microsoft installs in the Safari plug ins folder?
Thanks so much!

You installed the Conduit spyware. To remove it, back up all data, then follow the instructions on this page:
Help Center | Community Toolbar
If those instructions don't work, proceed as follows.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Application Support/Conduit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). From the Finder menu bar, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder…
Paste (command-V) into the box that opens, then press return. A Finder window should open with a folder named "Conduit" selected. If it does, delete the selected item.
Repeat with this line:
/Applications/Toolbars
Now you're deleting a folder named "Toolbars". You may be prompted for your login password. Next, copy this line:
/Library
Select Go to Folder… again and paste. Don't delete the Library folder. Delete only the following items inside it, if they exist.
Application Support/Conduit
InputManagers/CTLoader
LaunchAgents/com.conduit.loader.agent.plist
ScriptingAdditions/ct_scripting.osax
Close the Finder windows you opened. Log out and log back in.
I've seen a report that Conduit may be bundled with a scam "utility" called "MacKeeper." If you installed MacKeeper, you should remove it according to the developer's instructions. It's worthless and causes many problems reported on this site.

How do I remove adobe plug-in?

So 2-3 years ago I didn't like the way Safari displayed or was unable to view PDF's in Safari. So I downloaded a plug-in that enabled me to see PDF's in the same way you see them in acrobat reader.
Now, I like the way Safari does this on it's own and I would like to disable/remove this plug in so I can use preview more easily to view PDF's
How do I start? I Don't remember where I got the plug-in.

Daniel,
1. Open Adobe Reader>Preferences...>Categories>Internet>Web Browser Options> [ ] Uncheck "Display PDF browser using:"
2. Quit Safari or any other browsers.
3. Then, in Finder navigate to:
Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Internet Plug-ins
(or) Macintosh HD/Library/Internet Plug-ins
(and) move the Adobe PDF Viewer plugin (I no longer have it installed to give you the precise name) to the Desktop.
4. Restart Safari or your desired browser.
If you have different PDF Viewer/Browser plug-in other than Adobe, just use the same procedure.
You can reserve the PDF viewer or trash it at your discretion.
;~)

You can't remove any of the built-in apps, including Safari. You can hide it via Settings > General > Restrictions > Safari 'off', but the app can't be deleted.

" plug-in name does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari Security "Manage Website Settings"?

Hi,
Wondering why "<plug-in name> does not support the highest level of security for Safari plug-ins" appear for some plugins in Safari > Security > "Manage Website Settings"?
Have been trying to get to the root cause of the problem but did not find much on this. I am trying to figure out what can get the warning to go away completely than using the Allow/Always Allow options for the plug-in
Thanks,
Shyam

Hi Linc,
Thank you for your response. Here is the screenshot of the warning that I am talking about.
Here is what I do:
1. Launch Safari and open its Preferences. I have Safari 7.1 installed on my machine.
2. Click Security Tab and click Manage WebSite Settings
3. A window opens showing me all the Plug-ins that I have (listed on the left hand side).
4. One of them is the Adobe Reader plug-in. When I click Adobe Reader, the following details about the plug-in show up on the right
I was referring to the highlighted section that warns me about this plug-in not using the highest level of security for Safari Plug-ins.
Note: I do not see this for all my plug-ins (QuickTime, Adobe Flash Player don't give me this warning) which tells me that there is a way to make the warning go away.
Thanks again,
Shyam

How to remove kindlegen plug-in in InddCS5.5

Once again, I fell for the recommendation to install a third-party plug-in: Amazon kindlegen plug-in for indesign CS5.5. It has caused my INDDCS5.5 to not be able to load. I want to remove this kindlegen plug-in. I saw on one forum (not adobe forum) some very tecchie/geekie instructions, involving yet another program to be installed to remove kindlegen. Does anyone here know some easier way to get rid of the thing?
This is the link I found with all the uber-geeky stuff to fix it. Waaay over my head: http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96903

Kindlegen always caused problems for me. IMHO, a horrible program. I just stick to InDesign "export for epub" option. And then Amazon, B&N, et. al., can do the rest (like, Amazon converting to their mobi format when you upload an epub file to kdp.amazon.com.

I removed safari how can I get it back???

Hello everyone
i've a macbook Pro no retina from 2011 and i'm running the latest version of OS X Yosemite.
Yesterday I threw away my Safari and also cleaned the basket. My problem was that there were to much ads and my mac was running very slow so i was a little mad but now i want to reinstall it. (I'm using google chrome now. But I find safari much better) I can't find it in the app store, on the apple site... I've also since 2013 done some backups every day. I thought this was the solution. but my Mac just can't find safari between backups from 2014. that's strange.
I think the only solution is to reinstall OS X Yosemite with OS X recovery but my Firevault is turned on and when i entered my password it says that's incorrect so i went to system preferences and i turned it of (here he recognizes my password??.)
When my Firevault is turned of would that be the solution to get my safari back just with reinstalling OS X Yosemite by using OS X Recovery??
Thank you.

You may want to check your Applications folder. Yosemite simply will not allow you to delete Safari. If you try to move it to the trash you will get a message saying you can’t because Safari is part of OS X. This is why Safari is no longer available as a standalone download for Yosemite. If you ‘removed’ Safari by dragging the icon out of the Dock you didn’t delete it, you simply removed the alias pointing to it. Open your Applications folder in Finder and look for Safari there. Or search for it with Spotlight.
Again, Yosemite will not allow to you trash Safari or other critical OS X apps like Facetime, for example. No need to reinstall Yosemite.

I am trying to install microsoft office 2010 but it is telling me to proceed I have to remove Safari + Firefox. Is this necessary and ifso how do I do this?

I am trying to install microsoft office 2010 but it is telling me, to proceed I have to remove Safari , Firefox , is this necessary and ifso what do I need to do + how ????

It means you have to close them (Quit). Right click them one by one from the dock and click Quit.

Removed Safari and now can't install it.

For some odd reason, Safari stopped autofilling email addresses in Yahoo mail. I'm not sure if it was something I did, but it definately happened. The first thing I did was to "reset" Safari. That didn't help. So, I decided to download Firefox to see if autofill worked in Firefox. It did. So, I had the bright idea that I must have inadvertently done something to Safari to make it stop autofilling. In continuation of this bright idea, I decided to remove Safari and reinstall it to see if that fixed the problem. It didn't. So, then I thought, "well, perhaps there were some files or other things hidden deep in the emac that I needed to remove in order to completely get rid of Safari". So, I went into spotlight and got rid of every last thing that had the word Safari in it.
I went to apple.com and downloaded Safari 2.0.1. When I tried to install it, I got to the part where you choose where you want to install it and I got the message "You cannot install Safari onto this drive, it requires MacOS 10.4.2. I find this odd, since I have 10.4.6.
I DO NOT have my emac reboot/startup disk. I have somehow lost it.
Does anyone have any recommendations for me?
Thanks, Rich

smithsfan,
Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
It sounds as if you trashed some of the Library and even framework files, not just the user preferences. Do you have a separate Restore DVD or an Applications disk? If so, you can use that to reinstall Safari including it's library files, then use the 2.0.1 installer.
General Safari troubleshooting is in Safari quits unexpectedly
You can call Apple and ask about ordering a replacement OS disk; with proof of registration (i.e., the serial number inside the optical drawer cover) you can order a replacement for considerablly less than buying a new Tiger Install disk. That would let you use Custom installs in Mac OS X 10.4 to reinstall Safari.
(Worst case, you can always use Firefox as your normal browser --- I do, since I prefer it's sidebar for viewing bookmarks, plus it's a consistient interface when using Firefox on that other computer OS.)

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.

Is there some place to find Safari Plug-ins for the iPod Touch, such as JAVA and FLASH?

There is, at this time, no Flash for the Touch.

Removing MultiTunes plug-in

Hi,
I installed the MultiTunes plug-in a few months ago. This is a nice plug-in but I don't really have a use for it now that iTunes has built-in support for multiple libraries. So my question is: how can I remove this plug-in?
Thanks!

How about a Spotlight search to locate the plugin and put it in the trash. Make sure there are no files that iTunes uses in the folder before moving it to the trash.
