Malwarebytes eliminate on iMac

On either the download or add-on page, I dragged Malwarebytes to trash. How do I actually eliminate the total program from my iMac? Please give me elementary directions. i.e. if you direct me to the Library, how do I get there?


(It drives me nuts to have the program icon there and how it informs me that I can update by buying it instead of using the free version.) iMac running OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 I realize bits and pieces of the downloaded program are lingering somewhere in the deepest recesses of the computer but am ignorant of where it lurks.

Thank you to any and all who reply.

iMac, OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)

It says:


If you wish to remove Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, as well as the helper tool and all data and settings files, simply open Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and choose Uninstall Malwarebytes Anti-Malware from the Help menu.


That's the help menu in the Malwarebytes application itself, not in the browser.
