Urgent help......can't get rid of adobe icon....

Hello,
I'm using Mac OS X 10.5.8
In my utilities, i discover this
There's that Adobe Flash Player Install Manager..........when i click this icon, it's asking
me for my password.......which I straightaway click the cancel button, as from the news
today, I know that's a malware. No installations made whatsoever.
But I can never get rid of that icon above completely from the utilities, when i try to trash it,
this comes up -
What to do now? I'm afraid if i keyed in name and password, the opposite might
happen.....as I don't want to install this adobe flash player......any solutions to my problem?
Appreciate all the replies, thanks.

If I click on the icon itself......this will come up
When I click uninstall, also, same thing asking for password...... if i do so,
I know I'm done....... when i click quit, it'll just close the window....
Just couldn't figure out how to completely erase it out of my Mac 10.5.8 system....

  • How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you

    I try to get as many items as I can in the bookmarks menu toolbar (typically using 3 letter names). F4 adds an icon next to each name - taking up valuable space. How, please, can I get rid of the icons in the bookmarks toolbar so I have space for more bookmark names? Thank you.

    If you remove the names then you may have a problem with organizing or searching for bookmarks.<br />
    If you do not want to use the extension then you can achieve the same effect with code in userChrome.css<br />
    That is what I would do.
    Add code to userChrome.css below the @namespace line.

    #personal-bookmarks .toolbarbutton-icon { display:none !important;}

  • Can't get rid of account icon photo in mail header area

    How can I get rid of the thumbnail photo icon in the mail header area when I send an e-mail in Mail?
    It is one of the supplied icons that is in system preferences for "accounts", to distinguish my account from my wife's on our iMac G5 (10.4.10). I recently only selected this icon....the boxer dog....but there was nothing in that area before when I used the generic sillohuete as my account log-in identifier.
    Basically, I don't want to be sending e-mails with a dog's photo....as much as I like dogs.
    I have read how to ADD a custom photo in .Mac preferences/profile but, I didn't see how to get rid of one and I did not consciously choose to add the photo that is there now.....it just appeared after I changed it in System Preferences/Accounts. I understand that it might appear in iChat, but, I am not/wasn't using iChat.

    Those photos don't actually get sent. They are a "feature" of Mail. You probably have a "Me" card in your address book? Get rid of the picture there, and it should get rid of the picture in the header region of your emails as displayed in Mail.app. But, like I said, those don't actually get sent, anyways. Got Windoze at work? Send an email to yourself at your work email address -- you'll see -- no boxer dog. But, please pay a visit to http://www.apple.com/macosx/feedback/ and let them know what you think of this feature.

  • Can't get rid of sync icon in menu bar

    I just sold this powerbook to a friend and I'm having problems getting rid of my identity for her.
    1) I can't get rid of the sync icon in the menu bar (or whatever it's called)
    2) I can't get to the place in the system preferences where this is enabled because I have removed my .Mac identity from this system
    3) Even though the system no longer has a .Mac identity it still seems to want to sync
    4) I removed all of my contacts and groups from my address book, but each time I restart the system they all come back.

    Hold down the CMD key and drag the sync icon off the menu bar.
    If you're selling a computer to someone else, you should sell it in the state you bought it. So just re-install the original OS from the original disks provided with the computer. That will wipe any of your personal info, including all the stuff you don't know where it is.

  • Can't get rid of carbonite icon from menubar

    Got rid of carbonite and it no longer appears in my system preferences. However it is still in my menubar at the top right and it has an x through it. How do I get rid of that? Any help appreciated.

    When I couldn't find a Carbonite folder in Applications (I had previously trashed it) I Googled how to get rid
    of Carbonite icon and found a way to find the hidden Carbonite folder.
    I had to:  1/ Control click on Finder on the dock and select ‘Go to Folder’.
                   2/ Typed /Library/Application Support/ into the window that appears.
                   3/ There was the Carbonite folder with 4 documents in it.
    I moved the whole folder into AppZapper free demo application, and BOOM icon's gone.  I had to restart to see the icon was actually gone.  AppZapper is pretty cool too.

  • Can't get rid of an icon on my desktop

    I am unable to get rid of an icon on my iMac desktop. I am running OS X 10.2.8. It is a Word document. Every time I try to trash it, I get the following response:
    The item “X.doc” is being used by another task right now. (Other tasks include moving, copying, or emptying the Trash.)
    Try again when the task is complete.
    Well, the task (whatever it is) never seems to be complete. How do I get rid of this sucker?
    Thanks,

    Here's how Apple says to remove it:
    1. Rename the file to "remove.rtf"
    2. Open .... /Applications/TextEdit
    3. Create a new document, put some text into it and...
    3. From the File menu, choose Save As
    4. Type: "remove" in the Save As field
    5. Select the location where the problem file is located
    6. Click Save....Dialog appears... The file already exist. Do you want to replace it?..... Click “Replace”
    7. The “remove” file replaces/overwrites the problem file.... so drag “remove” file to the Trash.

    The following Apps will “Force Delete” ....

    Start up in Safe Mode. (shift at startup)
    This prevents non-Apple apps from loading. Trash the offending app and restart.
    Use Terminal to ...
    Force-empty the trash or Force-delete an item from desktop..
    1. Launch Terminal.
    2. Type sudo rm -rf <space> (or copy/paste)
    2a. You can use sudo rm <space> , but it will not work with a folder.
    3. Drag the offending file into the Terminal window. The path to it will appear.
    4. Click on Terminal window, press Return and type your administrator password.

  • Get rid of Adobe Icons

    I know this isn't an Adobe forum, but I installed the new Creative Cloud
    today from the Adobe website to check out the new Photoshop, which
    I didn't like and uninstalled it again. In that process 4 Icons remained.
    I can't find a way to get rid of all that sh*t. I already cleared out the Adobe

  • Can't Get rid of "9" Icon on bar

    On the bar where the airport, clock and battery are there is a "9" there from when I installed CLASSIC PREFERENCES to use the free protools version from the website.

Can someone please help!

  • Can't get rid of itunes icon on desktop

    Already have iTunes showing on dock on bottom of display and now have iTunes icon on desktop display as well. Tried dragging it into trash but then I can't open iTunes from the dock without dragging desktop icon out of trash to and back to the desktop. Tried dragging desktop icon onto dock and into already existing iTunes icon already on the dock. Nothing i've tried seems to work. How to I get rid of this desktop icon?

    Hi bkbl?
    Welcome to Apple Discussions
    First check in Applications to see if there is an iTunes icon there?
    If so then just drag the one on your Desktop to the dock, make sure it works and then drag the old one off.

  • Can't get rid of ISIToolBox icons from the toolbar...

    ...every time I open a pdf, these icons are in the toolbar, taking up real estate.  I can uncheck them from the toolbar menu and get rid of them.  But who wants to do 4 extra mouse clicks every one of the tens of times they open a document each day?  Any ideas for permanently getting rid of these?

    Uninstalling would certainly get it done.  But what if I want to use it?  Reinstall?
    There's already a pull-down menu (along with File, Edit, View, etc) for the ISI tools.  Why does it have to be so damn invasive?  Why can't I just ask it not to automatically put the icons in my toolbar?

  • SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP, Can't get rid of Red Underlined Text

    So after I lost a major part of my script and am now prepared to  rewrite, now Every Font is in Red with underline. When I try to  backspace, it turns my original font to red as well. This script seems  like it's gonna be huge, judging the many impedents it's facing. I hope  there's an easy solution to this one. I've tried to change it from the text color, but those settings look ok,  black dot on white background. There's something going on that I can't  figure no matter what I'm trying.

    Looks like 'Track changes' is on for this document. Just turn it off from the toolbar [Review -> Start Tracking changes] in the authoring view itself.
    Also the changes that are marked as deleted (crossed), do mouse hover on the text and 'reject change' and for inserted text (red color with underline) do 'accept change'. This is just so that you don't need to type it again and the text would become normal.
    Thanks

  • Can't get rid of an icon of myself

    Guys,
    I have a weird problem.  A picture of myself that I took through my MBP (which is hedious) is showing up along with my yahoo e-mail.  Whenever I send a message, the picture or icon of myself is showing up as a little picture appearing in the upper right corner of the e-mail.  Strangely enough, I can't see this picture when I'm looking at it through my MBP in safari, but it appears when I see that same e-mail on my iphone safari.  I've since deleted that photo on my MBP but it's still showing up through my email when I see it on the iphone through safar.  Please help.  This picture was one of those things that apple typically prompts you for a photo when setting up a new os.  I hope you guys know what I mean.  Ive look at my login users through system preferences but no user has that picture assigned.

    Charlie,
    what mail program are you referring to?   I don't have a mail program on my iphone (ios6) like i do on my mbp; only the yahoo and gmail that's been setup.
    I've deleted all the photos that resemble that self pic in iphoto as well as photobooth.  i don't have any pics in my contacts list.  I got a feeling this is isolated to the iphone as i don't see any of this icon when viewing yahoo mail through the macbook.
