Which program is it? Generally, you would use the developer's uninstall instructions.

If you don't know you can run Etrecheck and it will identify it.


I realize the last thing you want is another app but EtreCheck was created by one of own helpers here in ASC. It is a very light weight diagnostic tool that's very useful to us in finding problems. Also it will give us further specs on your Mac. After it runs post the log file here. It will contain no personal information.
