How to uninstall Virusbarrier X5

I installed this software to test out and dragged both Virusbarrier and Netupdate icons from applications to trash to uninstall it but Netupdate icon remains in top right corner.
I checked logon items under my account and its not listed.

How do i uninstall this software since it appears to not have been fully uninstalled by just deleteting from apps folder?

Thanks

you have to use the uninstaller provided by intego. it comes with the program itself. trashing the application is not sufficient. 3rd party uninstallers will not work for this either. it has to be the original uninstaller which is part of the installer that installs Virusbarrier.

Thanks V.K.

I had to download the install files again anyway to reinstall it to try the clean up programs then I saw the uninstall option and used that.

All files are gone now...Thanks again!
