Force Delete a Directory file!

[Rmafive]

I have a very bad problem. It all started when I downloaded a free trial of an application called Net Support. After learning it was completely useless, I uninstalled the application. Now every time I log in it gives me a message telling me to buy the program! After hours of researching I traced it all the way back to this: library/NSM Client/Status Icon. Now that I found it I have to delete it, the only problem is my computer won't let me! I have tried using terminal, and a few other deleting methods but none work. I was wondering if anyone had suggestions.

That might not be the actual program, just an icon (looking at it from the name).

First of all go to System Preferences -> Accounts -> Login items
to see if it's listed there. If it is just remove it.

If that doesn't work, open terminal and type:

cd "/Library/NSM Client/"
then
sudo rm -rf "Status Icon"

you'll be asked for your password. If you get a message saying it's not a directory, just try:

sudo rm "Status Icon"

You could also try looking in Activity Monitor to see what the name of the app is.
