How do I uninstall the Nation search tool bar?

My kids downloaded a video game and it appears the Nation searh toolbar was bundled with it. Now it has highjacked Safari and all my Google searches end up with Nation responses.

If you see anything Nation related in the search bar, try control clicking then click Delete.


If that's not possible, check Safari > Preferences > Extensions.


If it's not there then it's been installed as a plug-in, input method, input manager, or a scripting addition.


  • /Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
  • /Library/Input Methods/
  • /Library/InputManagers/
  • /Library/ScriptingAdditions


  • ~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
  • ~/Library/Input Methods/
  • ~/Library/InputManagers/
  • ~/Library/ScriptingAdditions


The first four locations listed are in the root-level Library on your hard disk, not the user-level Library in your Home folder.The tilde (~) represents your Home folder.

To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library.

Worked like a charm. We tried all other ideas in thread to no avail but this simple solution worked. We use Chrome and Safari.

Thanks Fish!
