Uninstalling Hotspot Shield

[hammie14]

Hi,

I installed Hotspot Shield on my mac but cant find how to fully uninstall it?

There was something on the apple forum but it was not too much help!

I am running osx 10.6 on a MPB

Thanks
Rob

HSS comes with it's own uninstaller - it is in the same installer package, did you use that?

I have the same problem.

This is the apple discussion that didn't work for me either

Uninstalled using the package, but the bar still shows up.

Spoke too soon i guess. Used the uninstaller, reset settings in safari and rebooted. All seems happy right now.

Uninstall Hotspot Shield

How do I uninstall Hotspot Shield VPN?
You can tap and hold the app until the "X" appears and tap again to delete. If you want to uninstall Hotspot Shield completely, you will need to switch your VPN to "Manual" and or delete your VPN Profile.
DELETE VPN PROFILE
Go to "Settings"
Select "General"
Select "Profiles"
Select "Hotspot Shield VPN"
Tap "Remove"

i know its easy

all you need to do is go to terminal then this is important so look carefully
so its sudo rm -R and then press the space bar and drag the installer into the terminal and press enter and then enter your mac password and your done no more hotspot shield hope u found this useful 🙂🙂

you will need the install .DMG and mount/open it - move over to the right side of the window and there is the uninstaller - works fine, quit and relaunch your browser (safari in my case) and it's gone - will go with it (or another VPN app pro version) in a month - it DOES slow connections down - hang onto the .DMG for a while just in case : )

Since this 2 year old thread has been resurrected yet again, I'll add this: The most effective method for complete app removal is manual deletion:
