Genio appears from nowhere whenever I launch Safari. How do I uninstall. I can't find an uninstall application. I have manually deleted Genio from Applications, Application Support and Preferences. How do I get it out of my computer?
Mac OS X (10.7.5)
See this link for removal: http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
When installing apps you get from places like CNET & Softronics they wrap the installer with their adware. You have to manually uncheck NOT to install. I've seen the Genieo as "Install Genieo with a checkbox" in a very small font. See example here:
Beware of adware included in installers

OS X 10.9.3 added Genieo to list of incompatible software. If possible I would upgrade to Mavericks.
