SIMBL Error

I've had this problem... since the update to Safari 6, I think. I've been trying to ignore it, but it's starting to get pretty annoying.

Every time I start Safari, I get a Dialog Box titled "SIMBL Error" with the following text:

Safari 4.0.2 (v5530.19) has not been tested with the plugin VideoboxSafariPlugin.bundle (null) (v1.4). As a precaution, it has not been loaded. Please contact the plugin developer (not the SIMBL author) for further information.

Could someone walk me through the steps to get rid of this? I mean, I have no idea what it is, and it's not affecting anything I normally use my 'Book for.

¡Ayudame!

Macbook Oreo [Black Shell, White Keyboard], Mac OS X (10.5.7), 2GB RAM, so I can play WoW at a decent speed.

Greetings,

You must know what this is, because you installed it, or allowed someone else to install it. Either way, it's incompatible with Safari 4.0.x, so you need to remove it.

Start by looking in /Library/InputManagers, Home/Library/InputManagers and /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins Folder for the item. Whichever one(s) you find it in, delete it. Then restart Safari to see if the problem goes away.

Meant to say Safari 4, but it looks like you know what I meant.

I've looked in those folders you suggested, only found 2 bundles, and moved them both to the Desktop. Restart. Still get the box.

Spotlight can't even find the file.

Let me rephrase: I don't REMEMBER installing it.

Well, if Safari says it didn't load the bundle, then it is there, even if Spotlight doesn't find it. If you checked all 3 folders I gave, which Bundles did you remove?

Visor.bundle and Move MediaPlayer.bundle.

Would it hurt to just... empty all of my Internet Plugins folders, and just redownload the ones I need, if I ever need them again?

No, it won't hurt anything. But if Safari says that plugin was not loaded, then the only other possibility I can imagine is that it's an invisible file that's installed.
