Hi there folks,
A couple of nights ago I downloaded and installed "Little Snitch"
as mentioned by some WAMUG members after that ABC 4 Corners Show.
Anyway, because I was a little concerned about it I decided to
delete it from my applications folder.
Ever since then I have been getting numerous windows popping up
asking for certain applications to be given permission to connect
to certain sites. The one on my screen at the moment says:-
"GoogleSoftwareUpdateAgent wants to connect to
safebrowsing.clients.google.com on TCP port 443 (htts)." There are
a variety of buttons to select below this and also a link that
states "Show details ..."
Then the option to DENY or ALLOW. At the top left corner of each
of these windows is a smaller overlapping window that looks
something like an input box.
What the heck is all this about and how do I get rid of it ?
I have searched using Spotlight for any other iterations of Little
Snitch but cannot find any.
Hi Stephen,
You should have Uninstalled Little Snitch by following the
instructions below:
"Open the Little Snitch Installer application and click the
Uninstall button. If you don’t have the Installer available on your
computer anymore, you can re-download it from our Download Page."
Doesn't sound like you did, so this is a list of every file that
Little Snitch 2.0.3 would have installed on your system.
While I believe the list to be complete, if anyone discovers other
files I have missed, please post a follow up with the path to the
file.
Note that lines ending with a '/' represent directories that
contain one or more files which are only part of Little Snitch.
Note further that the '~' symbol represents your home directory.
Finally, note that the directory marked with '(*)' contains the
Little Snitch registration files, including a hidden file (.lsd)
that will not show up in a Finder window. Removing this directory
will, however, remove all traces of your registration from your
system.
~/Library/Application Support/Little Snitch/ etc.
After removing the above directories, you will need to reboot your
machine in order to boot a new kernel that does not contain the
Little Snitch kernel extension. That is, unless you know how to use
the kextunload(8) command from the command line to do it manually.

Hi Ronni, "Greetings"! Re above would'nt Ap Zapper do the same job
without the "Hassle". I find it an essential applic. for deleting
including all associated files.
Ciao Philip.
Hi Philip Greetings to you,
Yes, AppZapper would have deleted all the files associated with Little
Snitch ... IF it had been used!
But, it can't now once the application was dragged to the trash and
deleted. It needs the actual application to be dropped onto AppZapper
and then all files associated with that application are deleted.
AppZapper or something similar should have been used to ZAP Little
Snitch and all it's files.
A great application AppZapper is for uninstalling all files that an
application installs.
