We assume that the main reason why users fail to remove this app or other apps on Mac OS X is related to the wrong perception of the 'uninstalling' process, which is usually equated to the act of dragging the icon to the Trash folder. Such process is called 'removing' and, indeed, it is not the most sufficient when seeking to get rid of programs once and for all. If you only drag the icons of unwanted programs to Trash, then you leave tens of related components on your computer. This can easily start reducing the performance of your Mac computer.
