Hi, I downloaded Tunnelblick (VPN) from SecurityKISS after being disappointed by countless others. I did not pay for one of the packages because I just wanted to try it out because only one VPN program has worked on my MBP and that worked for about a month before quitting.

Long story short, on my MBP at least, it does not work and will definitely be the last VPN I try. So now I want to get rid of it, however, when I try to do that a message pops up that says, roughly, "Cannot delete, the program "Tunnlblick" is locked". So I read up on Google and tried going into Info & unchecking the tickbox next to Locked, but it's greyed out and I can't.

I'm not really sure where to go from here, so any help that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

PS: I am the admin & sole user of my computer. :)

Update:

I succeeded at deleting by following some advice on an obsolete Apple Support document. The document is called Unable to move, unlock, modify, or copy an item in Mac OS X

Using Terminal I force unlocked the above program. From there I was able to delete it.
