Can I use MacRemover to delete glimmerblocker?

THis app came up during a search but it sounds too much like MacKeeper to me. Is there a way to remove glimmerBlocker?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Mid 2007

71,

If you are asking about this one, I would not recommend using it.

Use https://glimmerblocker.org/wiki/Uninstall

How do I get rid of this? may also be helpful.

FWIW I have used it for several years, and it is currently installed on my El Capitan system.

Hello Ferd II,

Thanks for the tip. I think I found the one you mentioned from a different direction ...

http://2-macuninstaller.com/remove-glimmerblocker-from-mac.html So yes, I won't be using that. I will follow your suggestion and come back when it is done. Just a note. I use the 'wings' icon on some of my notepaper.

EDIT. Can't remove it but somehow I came to mark myself as helpful !!! First thing in the morning syndrome.

Hello FerdII

Have come across what looks like a very simple way to do this; Go to glimmerBlocker icon and ctrl/click on it.

Then click on the panel that appears and bingo ... icon disappears.

Regards,

71,

Thanks for the feedback. I have not yet found a reason to remove it, but after every major system update I have to reinstall it because it gets moved to the Incompatible Software Folder.

Have a great day!
