can someone instruct me how to uninstall Divx?

Great advice!

The only thing I'd change would be to add a grep command to step 3 and have it search for anything with 'divx' thus eliminating the need to search through the list.

3. Type in the following commands

$ launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.divx.update.agent.plist

$ launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.divx.dms.agent.plist $ launchctl list | grep divx (com.divx.update.agent should not appear in the list)

In Sys Prefs>Other, Right click on the DivX icon & choose Remove.

Hello,

I´m getting repeatedly messages for a DivX update, but I can´t find this software anywhere.

I tried just about all the "solutions" I could find through a search.

First I tried to delete this software, that was when I got the message, this software could not be deleted.

Then I downloaded and installed the software again from the recommended website, and then uninstalled it.

Still no difference - still getting the update reminders.

Many thanks in advance for any hints!

Hello Manoka

What I did is the following.

1. Open a "terminal" window (Applications -> Utilities -> Terminal or in Spotlight, look for terminal)

2. If you are not logged in as an admin user, log as an admin.

$ su whatever_the_username_of_the_admin_user_is

3. Type in the following commands

$ launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.divx.update.agent.plist

$ launchctl unload /Library/LaunchAgents/com.divx.dms.agent.plist $ launchctl list (com.divx.update.agent should not appear in the list)

4. Remove the following files:

$ sudo rm /Library/LaunchAgents/com.divx.*

$ sudo rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/DivX/ $ rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.divx.*

5. If you had to log as an admin user, return to your regular user

$ exit

6. Repeat the removal operation in Library/Preferences for each user

$ rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.divx.*

I have the SAME problem!!!!!!!!!!! Help someone!!!

what is a terminal window?

I found the terminal, Thank you. How do I log in as an admin?

Re: Annoying pop ups with every click

This thread has just helped me tremendously; step-by-step instructions from Linc Davies. You WILL discover all the background nonsense Divx stores on your iMac even though you deleted the App.

Perfect! Thank you!
