Help with LogMeIn removal

Had the same problem. Open a Finder window and click "Go" from the menu bar, then "Go to folder" and type "/private/var/tmp" in the box. Should be able to delete the logmein folders from there.

Hello my Mac friends----I also had this SAME scam happen to me. I violated my own basic rules of using my computer-----NEVER let anyone take over my computer remotely. Anyway, after MUCH discussion with various people I also found this solution:

While in Finder: Hit Control-F,

After you hit Control-F you will be in a "deeper" version of spotlight. In the upper left hand corner of the box are two drop down buttons. You will want to select "System Files" in the first button and "ARE included" in the second button.

Then, in the upper search box for this window type in "logmein" and/or "logmeinrescue.

There you will see ALL files that contain this nightmare of a program. You can now move all of them to the trash.

Delete the trash-----SECURELY is best. Then, thank your lucky stars you found this out.

I was so angry with myself for violating my own rule. And, it was also concerning a Microsoft product as well.

For 25+ years I've used NOTHING but Macs. The only product from Microsoft has been Word. But with this new Office 365 Premium, I have more exposure to them. I hope nothing else makes this worse.

Best to ALL of you here in our community. I hope this answer also helps someone.

Here's the easiest way. Reinstall Logmein. Open it, click on Logmein and then About Logmein. There is an Uninstall button there. Click it and it's uninstalled. Then go to Spotlight and search "Logmein" and remove any Logmein file (Such as Logmein Safari Plugin). Restart Mac and you're done.

When I go to Finder and hit Control-F, I do not get this deeper version of spotlight. Nothing happens.

Thank you. After much searching, I found this to be the correct response for how to remove logmein rescue from Mac OSX 10.7.5. As you correctly point out, LogMeIn files are hidden from the normal spotlight search. Therefore you do need to set system files as searchable using the advanced search options you describe for Finder before spotlight will reveal them for deletion.

Thank you. I feel the same way. And this was a great help for me.

I decided to get rid of LogMeIn after they decided to charge for it. I used it rarely, when I was away from my MBPro and needed to get someting from my iPad.

This seems to have worked perfectly. No more logmein processes. Thanks!

folder is empty...

Did you fix it? Did you got rid of it? Please let me know ...

how did you do it? I have the yosemite grrrrr big mistake

I was able to get into the files that P DUB OKC was talking about.

In a normal finder window hit command - F, not control - F

Then you should have this screen:

Then hit the "kind" drop down menu and select "other":

Then select system files from the list:

Now change the drop down menu from "aren't included" to "are included":

Lastly, type logmein in the search bar:

I highlighted all the files and deleted them all. Then emptied the trash with a restart and all is gone for me.

Cheers!

Thank you so much. The only change I made in following your instructions, were this. The "control F" action did not bring up the correct Finder screen for me. When going into finder, I had to use the "command F" instead of "control F" to bring up the correct Finder screen that included the two drop down windows you referred to on the upper left of the Finder Screen.

Thanks a million times over.

Hello,

I also need to remove LogMeIn. But when I get to the step where I search for "logmein" and/or "logmeinrescue" my Mac does not find anything. I have not yet deleted anything from LogMeIn. What should I do now?
