I just discovered that the MacFUSE Preference pane has been installed without my knowledge. How can I find which program installed this?
Got a tip for us?

No I do not have Fusion installed. I recently installed Calibre, wonder if it came from there????
These are my most recent installations: Calibre, ZumoCast ,iStat Menus, Tooble, MacPilot, Dropbox

You started with this:
And then said this:
It seems you already knew that Zumocast installs MacFUSE... so why the question in the first place? Did you expect MacFUSE and Growl to be integrated into on pref pane?

I did NOT know that Macfuse was installed by Zumocast, that's why I asked. I did know about Growl. There should have been a question mark after They install Growl and MacFUSE both? I apolgogize got my error.
I did a quick google search for MacFUSE and Zumocast and the first link goes to their forums where it appears to be installed or related.
I cannot test it since I already have MacFUSE and Growl installed and I wont install the program. I will confirm that the Installer contains both MacFUSE and Growl.
I can say with a high degree of certainty that MacFUSE is installed with this program and thats where the pref pane came from.
That is the most complete answer that anyone is going to be able to give you.

Thanks everybody, I have uninstalled ZumoCast, Growl and MacFUSE and hope this doesnt happen again. I really do like the ZumoCast App on my iPad but all this 3rd part installation is too much.
It really is a poorly setup installer.
They have the .app sitting in the root of the pkg, but they are shoving growl and macfuse in the postinstall and postflight respectively. And then they are shoving Application Support in through traditional pkg means.
If you were to copy the pkg to the desktop and rip out the growl and macfuse folders From Contents/Resources, you won't get those. But, I don't know if ZumoCast relies on macfuse. If it does, you would need it.

I'm just noticing this MacFUSE as well in my control panel... It is 32 bit, so it keeps on wanting to shutdown and reopen the preferences since I always boot into 64 bit... My question is this... I am running Parallels, but can I delete MacFUSE? What is is for? Is there a 64 bit upgrade?
