Uninstall/Remove Inquisitor

4 August 2008, Hedi Regaya | Comments

For those of you wondering how to remove Inquisitor from their system here are the locations of the files to delete (while Safari is closed) to remove it:

Inquisitor.bundle (in Library/InputManagers/Inquisitor/)
Inquisitor folder (in “user=you”/Library/Application Support/)
inquisitor.pkg (in Library/Receipts/)
inquisitorPreflight.pkg (also in Library/Receipts/)
inquisitor folder (in Library/InputManagers/)

That's what we get for using an app acquired by Yahoo...

Anyone saying it was in the Terms and Agreement can go and do carrots. It's not really modest from any service to say "Hey it was in the Terms and Agreement..." when all the terms always are long as hell and really not something everyone will be reading like the best damn thing they ever read.

Instead Terms and Agreement should be standard terms to let the developer of the hook in case of normal behaving but leaving uninstall possibility out of the program is really a shitty thing to do and bad business.

Yo A-Jay... you are without a doubt the smartest person ALIVE! I can't tell you how good it feels to be so dumb right now. It's gone and you are the shizzle!

Thanks a TON!

Hey there Eamon,
Make sure that you are accessing these folders from the Macintosh HD not from your home folder. ;)

Eamon

No... actually that is what is weird. Inquisitor is still on my Safari, but those folders don't exist. So I really have no idea how to uninstall it. I tried chatting (iChat) with Inquisitor and they said that it was in the Terms and Agreement you click to agree with before installing the program. I tried to get more help, but all they said was "bye" :(.

So pretty much I am stuck with it.

Those sneaky guys...

Then... as a result, you won't have to worry about these since you don't have them.
Or are there signs the application has still not been removed from your Mac?

Eamon

Hey Hedi,

It's actually the one in the Terms and Agreement by the developer. However these folders do not pertain to some Mac users.

Hedi

As you know, there's no "uninstaller" from the developer of the application.
This is just a "home made" solution.
So all we can do is wait for an explanation on how to delete the application from its developer or maybe can you clarify your question..

Eamon Arnett

For some reason this did not work for me. I don't have the following folders on my Mac:

InputManagers
nor was there anything in the Application Support that would have anything to do with Inquisitor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
