I installed Folding@Home for Mac but now it's malfunctioning so I'm trying to uninstall. I drag the application to the Trash and click empty but it says it is in use. So, I go to Activity Monitor but it's not there. How do I quit the program!
Got a tip for us?

Try restarting and then emptying the trash. From their instructions you also need to remove the following files:
1. /Applications/Folding@home.app/
2. /Library/LaunchDaemons/Folding@home.plist
3. /Library/PreferencePanes/Folding@home.prefPane/
4. ~/Library/Folding@home/
Eventually boot in safe mode holding down the shift key at startup and delete the files.
