How can I delete megabackup and mackeeper to my iMac?

I found MacKeeper, MegaBackup, and Justcloud on my new iMac and I don't need them, how to remove?

Software to uninstall the program: the basics

Most OS X applications are completely independent "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the trash.  Applications can create preferences files that are stored in the folder/Home/Library/Preferences /.  Although they do nothing once you remove the associated application, they take up little space.  If you want you can find them in the location above and delete them, too.

Some applications may install an uninstall program that can be used to remove the application.  In some cases, the uninstall program may be part of the installation of the application program and is called by clicking on a custom button that will appear during the installation process.

Some applications can install components in the Home/Library/Application Support / folder.  You can also check here to check if the application has created a folder.  You can also delete the folder that is located in the application Support folder.  Once again, they do nothing but take up disk space, once the application is trashed.

Some applications may install a startupitem, or Item Log In.  StartupItems are usually installed in the folder/Library/StartupItems/and less often in the folder/Home/Library/StartupItems /.  Journal items are defined in the preferences accounts.  Open system preferences, click accounts, and then click the login items tab.  Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to remove from the list.

Some software uses demons start or agents which are a new feature of the operating system.  Look for them in/library/LaunchAgents/Library/LaunchDaemons/or in/Home/Library/LaunchAgents /.

If an application installs all the other files that the best way to find them is to search for Finder using the name of the application or the name of developer as a search term.  Unfortunately, Spotlight look in certain default folders.  You can change the behavior of Spotlight or use a third-party, EasyFindsearch utility, instead.

Some applications install a reception in the folder/library/receipts /.  Usually with the same name as the program or the developer.  The element typically has an extension ".pkg".  Do not forget that you also remove this element because some programs use to determine if it is already installed.

There are a lot of utilities that can uninstall applications.  Here is a selection:

1. AppZapper

2. AppDelete

3. PLC

4. Hazel

5. AppCleaner

6. CleanApp

7. iTrash

8. amnesia

9. uninstall program

10. spring cleaning

    How can I move music and books to iCloud (do not save, but move), as I have only 0.5 on iPad and 4.6 GB of 5 GB on iCloud?

    iCloud is not a storage space for media. If you delete these items in your device, then they will go into iTunes in the cloud, and you will see a small symbol of cloud beside them. But you will have to re - download access. If you need to free up space on your device, go to settings > general > storage & use iCloud and then click Manage Storage under the first section (storage). You will then see a list of everything on the device that is being established. See if you can import photos or videos on a computer or remove applications.

  • How can I delete Skype and get instant onMy computer back. Win XP SP3

    I tried to remove Windows Live Essentials to try to remove the latest version of Skype.

    He's not goodbye when I chose to remove in the control panel.  You have andy ideas?

    Hello Possum3201,

    Microsoft are taking his retirement from Windows Messenger. He was replaced with Skype. Even if uninstall you Skype and re-installed one copy of Messenger, you would get the reminder screens, which suggests that you update your copy of Skype Messenger. Finally you will also find that Microsoft would create an automatic update for Skype for everyone using Messenger.

    I don't understand why Skype will not uninstall from Add/Remove unless you actually upgraded from messenger. TI live maybe a case of having to uninstall all apps windows before it can actually uninstall Skype on its own. However, this is purely speculation on my part as I have not personally tried to uninstall Skype me. Have you also tried to uninstall in safe mode? Keep pressing the F8 key as your PC starts and then, when a menu appears, select Safe Mode.

    It seems that Skype is something that we all have to get used to. personally, I'm not this desire

    Once an unapproved site is added as an exception, how can I go back and delete the exception later?

    Thank you, Jefferson. You addressed the issue beautifully and delightfully complete.

    I found and deleted the server where I got the exception.

    "In the future, I suggest, by making an Exception, uncheck the box that adds a permanent exception. In this way, when you exit Firefox, the exception is removed automatically. »

    AHA. It's very good to know. I missed it when granting the exception today.

    The exception I gave (and now deleted) today wasn't really a risky site. I know the owner. Just a little problem in their relationship.

    Thanks again. And thanks Toddy... I did not say clearly what type of exception.

  • I allowedI have exceeded my GB account. They refuse to pay for the excess. How can I delete and forbid them to use my WiFi? Help the pse. John (Turkey).

    I allowed a neighbor to 'Piggy Back', my access to the internet, giving them my password. They took advantage of this facility, and I crossed my

    GB account. They refuse to pay for the excess. How can I delete and forbid them to use my WiFi? Help please. John in Didim, Turkey...

    [Moved from comments]

    Hi John,.

    Unfortunately, it seems that your neighbors have taken advantage of your kindness.
    As well as the suggestion of Sanwin2 to change the wireless password, you must also change the password to your console to access router (usually accessed via the IP address in the address bar of the browser). Just do it if the Access console password was the same as your Wi - Fi connection, or by default. Please note that this is ONLY if you have a router to access the internet.
    You can contact your router manufacturer and ask how you can prevent access. Usually, you can set your router it allows only the connection from certain IP addresses that you specify. In this way the neighbors won't be able to connect at all. It would be almost impossible unless experts pirate networks.
    You can also contact your nearest branch. As they are piggybacking without your permission, she (I assume) may be classified as theft. Although I'm not 100% sure and the laws may be different in your area, you can call the non-emergency number and report your neighbor.
    Of course, have you tried to go above and asking them to stop using your connection?
