safari crash using television fanatic toolbar plug in

I have exact same problem. No help from apple and why in the world are we prompted to update safari if this leads to hours of troubleshooting?

Help please.....

Uninstall the Television Fanatic toolbar plugin.

how do i uninstall this plug in?

i go to libarary and find the application, yet i cant figure out how to uninstall it. i clickes the delete button and it didnt do anything....

bear in mind, i cant launch safari and get online on my Mac. so how do i uninstall this thing??

thanks

For starters, drag the plugin from the Internet Plug-ins folder in your Library folder and drop it onto the desktop. Then try to open Safari again. If it opens normally and runs without glitches through several hours of your normal usage, trash the plug-in and empty the Trash.

If Safari still won't open, contact the developer of TV Fanatic and ask for assistance.

It's worth noting that the TV Fanatic web site has a very poor reputation for hosting adware and malware. I suspect their software is garbage, and it may be something worse. You can be thankful it doesn't seem to be compatible with the latest update of Safari.

Go to the safari bar

click on preferences

then highlight television fanatics

then hit uninstall

Megan: That will be hard to do when Safari won't open at all.

it wont even let you get that far before closing

So have you done as I suggested above instead?

I just ran into this same problem, though I hope you've found a fix by now. I don't remember how I finally found this answer, but it was a different google search than the one that led me to this discussion. Anyway, I found television fanatic, finally, by doing this (you DON'T need to open safari to do this):

Go to Finder

Mac>Library>Application Support>TelevisionFanatic

Move the entire folder of TelevisionFanatic to your desktop. Restart your computer. Open Safari. If you are successful (it worked for me), then delete the TelevisionFanatic folder from your desktop and then permanently from your Trash.

Good luck! Hope this helps others too.

This is the owner of TV Fanatic. We are in no way association with television fanatic, who creates that malware toolbar. We have never and would never create any form of spyware / adware.

Thank you thank you thank you! It worked!
