I just got a message that there's an update to Growl available. I never heard of it. Was this installed originally with the system? I see it has something to do with notifications, but I never knowingly installed it. Any reason to not uninstall it?
Thanks.

Chances are you would have downloaded it yourself. It doesn't appear to be particularly well regarded and you can get rid of it by ...
Thank you, sir, much appreciated!
Odd, tho. Growl is not in my list of applications. Searching in that Search thingy in upper right of folder window reveals nothing, searching in Spotlight only opens Sys Prefs and there under the General tab was a clickable Start/Stop button and beside it it said "Growl is running". So I clicked and stopped it. So it must exist, right?
Also the Go function couldn't find it. So how could it be running but not found and where is it hiding?
I appreciate the url but I can't find it to delete it according to the method presented.
Just found an unistaller from a related thread, tho I see Adobe CS5 installs it unknowingly. Grr.
Sir, you wouldn't know why cmd + tab no longer lets me switch between apps but now only switches between current app and Spotlight? Very odd!
Thanks for the green star, Elmerlang,
Spotlight has not been too well of late ... probably needs some Apple attention. 😀
There is, however, a very good free app called EasyFind on the market. It is in the App store and you can download it from there. Very useful for finding files and things.
Just to clarify, Growl itself is a fairly popular notification system - it is the installation without asking that is used by some application developers that isn't appreciated very much (even by the Growl development team).
The earlier versions of Growl are a preference pane - look at the removal instructions for versions prior to 1.3, or control-click on Growl in the System Preferences.
Thanks, guys.
As to stars, if people take the time to help the least I can do is take a moment to recognize it.
Now, if I can just get cmd+Tab to work again, I could die--well, maybe not die--happy.
I don't know the answer to cmd + tab. You might be able to dig it out via "More like this" after feeding cmd + tab into the search box.
EasyFind, by the way, can be obtained via http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/11076/easyfind
With regards,
Growl app--Where did this come from?
