Anyone having trouble erasing "LAN_SpeedTest"? My iMac says it can not be deleted.
iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), Mac OS X (10.0.x)
How are you attempting to uninstall it? Please be specific, such as:
"I have an app called Lan SpeedTest in the Applications folder, I would like to remove it from my iMac which is on OS X version 10.10. 4. I have attempted to drag it to the Trash and get an error that says."XXXXXXXXXXXXXX". What is the correct method to uninstall this app?
I am running 10. 10. 4 on a late 2013 27 inch iMac. I downloaded an application called Lan_SpeedTest from Totusoft solutions. I can not find it in the application folder or the download folder. However spotlight search will find it in an unnamed folder that I can not move to the trash. Message states file can not be erased. I used "CleanMyMac" to try to uninstall it... no joy. then I tried to use shredder, got a message that shredder failed for unknown reason. Finder now shows a remote disc that can not be ejected. I have run "MacScan" with no virus detected. This is a first for me. Never had a application file that can't be deleted before this.
Before you do ANYTHING uninstall CleanMyMac, this is considered malware by many experienced users.
OS X does not require any third party cleaning, antivirus, or other "performance enhancing" utilities to run well. If left alone OS X will run well for years in most circumstances. There are no viruses for OS X, however there is a small amount of malware out there that can easily be avoided.
After fully ridding your computer of CleanMyMac, the look in your download folder to the LanSpeedTest app and move it to the Trash.
