Software :: Remove Internet Cleanup Demo?
Dec 31, 2005
I recently installed, and shortly after, removed a demo for Internet Cleanup. Having done so, however, a popup message appears when I fire up my eMac: "Network SpyAlert Protection Expired! The installed demonstration version of Internet Cleanup has expired. To purchase the demo, run the Internet Cleanup application for details".
It's a minor nuisance, but annoying nonetheless. I've searched for possible suspected plists and logs, but can't seem to find whatever needs to be deleted to rid my Mac of this popup. Anyone have any ideas on how to remove this fragment of the program?

1. I received a message from Smith Micro about their Internet Cleanup. (They also have something that seems to cut down on excess files on computer hard drives.) It claims that there is malware directed at Macs, contrary to what has traditionally been said, and that their software can prevent harm. Is this something I really want to have? Has anyone had any experience with it? Just wondering.
2. And OWC keeps featuring various items from Alsoft (is ProSoft the same company?) for disk maintenance and recovery. I have Disk Warrior, but I'm not sure whether there's any special reason to own the others, or if the functions they perform could be done even better by other software. I searched for all those items in the CNET forums, and it's my impression that they can cause as many headaches as cures.

I had an Exchange account that I had been using for years. Recently, I switched jobs, and therefore the Exchange account was discontinued (i.e. my user was deleted from the server, emails bounce). BUT I cannot remove this obsolete account from my System Preferences > Internet Accounts. It drives me crazy. Whenever I hit the "-" minus button, the account disappears, but whenever I open Internet Accounts again, it's right back in its place. Apple Mail keeps complaining that it "cannot connect to the server", but won't let me delete the account.

OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

I currently have a speaker setup consisting of Logitech Z-640's and am using this adapter to connect my speakers to this monster aux cords for my macbookpro and iphone. My question is, is there a way to hook up 2 devices (my computer and HDTV) to my speakers without having to plug and unplug them ever time? and a way to eliminate the wire clutter? Someone recommended a USB sound card?

I'm new to the forums and I think I'm mac proficient but definitely not a pro, so bear with me while I try to be as clear as possible.
After my brother stepped on my 13" black macbook (aka the love of my technological life), I felt compelled to go for the bigger screen and sprung for a used Macbook Pro. Shortly after buying it (from simply mac), I began getting messages that my startup disk is nearly full. I have some music, pics, and tv shows which I would imagine take up a decent amount of space, but I had way, way more on my old macbook, so I was perplexed as to why I was supposedly running out of space. At the advice of some other threads here, I downloaded WhatSize, which is giving me lots of insight into what's taking up space.
My question is this - in WhatSize, under devices, it shows my Macintosh HD which has apparently only 169MB available. Down below in "places", it shows "macbookpro" (with the little house icon next to it) which is apparently 86.2GB, with "Music" taking up 77.4GB. Then, under places again, below it, there's "music," as its own separate "place," taking up 77.4gb. This is probably stupid, but I'm curious as to whether this is just the computer being redundant or whether, somehow, the music is stored in 2 places taking up equal amts of space?

Did anyone else notice the app Jobs used when he demoed Core Animation? I'm going to assume it was a custom app for internal use only but I was suitably impressed with it. If Apple doesn't release it in some form can someone else write it or something pretty similar? That thing was awesome.

obviously this makes me look like an idiot, but I downloaded the demo for worms 3D and when I opened it there were just lines of code. I have leapord operating system if that helps at all, I just think im missing an installer.

There is so many mixed information all over the internet. I am a little annoyed. So it's either do you need it or not? I am new to Mac. I need to make sure my computer is taken well care of. I don't want it to have files and things all over the place in the next 6 months and something happens. I don't download anything. it's all basic use. Internet, iWorks and iTunes. That's it.
Windows you need it for sure. Used windows for over who knows how many years. BUT with a MAC no one can give a definite answer? Why is that? I getting confused and getting annoyed. First someone said that you don't need it as the computer does it for you 'overnight'. Then, there is some who says to do it every 2 weeks?

My hard-disk is almost full. 25GB of data is located under my account (/users/jovandersteen). When I look in this folder and all its subfolders, I can't find the files which are responsible for 20GB+ of space. Does hidden files exist on a mac or something else which I can't see in finder.

I'm running Tiger, and I was wondering does anyone have the app and the skin/theme to make the Dock look like it did in this picture? The picture is from Jobs' keynote of introducing OS X. I just think it would be fun to have it look that way (in tiles with borders).

Is there a Mac OS X utility that does all the tasks done by Disk Cleanup utility in Windows in order to keep the operating system running as fast as possible?
What is your personal maintenance routine? Do you just do each task individually or have an all-in-one solution?

With Snow Leopard being so much smaller and lighter than previous versions of OS X are there still things to cleanup after a new install? Do programs like XSlimmer still do much? If there are still things to do, are there programs updates for Snow Leopard to automate this?

1: I can't seem to find a way to disable folders from auto-arranging themselves. I want to organize some of my folders randomly but I can only seem to arrange them by Name, Date, Label, etc. Some direction would be helpful, as I haven't used anything but Windows until now.
2: In Windows I had System Clean-Up and System Defrag to help maintain and keep my system organized/clean. Does OS X have similar programs or is there any other type of program Mac has for users maintain their system?

program that deletes configuration files and traces of programs not currently installed. After years of different macs and backups I probably have traces of a lot of junk and don't wish to go through every little folder and delete them manually. Is there a program that scans what you have in your applications folder or otherwise and detects what you have installed, what's not and deletes the orphaned configs and application support files?

I have my iTunes library on an external drive. I'm deleting a bunch of old music that I dont listen to in order to free up some space.
1. For some albums, I deleted them from iTunes, but I did not delete them from the hard drive(I did not get prompted, as iTunes was confused at the time and did not think the external drive was plugged in). Is there a way to figure out what files exist on the hardrive that were deleted in iTunes so that I can clean them up? Some utility maybe....
2. Many of the albums have a separate cover art jpg in the directory that does not get deleted. Is there a utility or easy way to scan the disk and clean these up as well?
