Uninstalling Saft from Safari

First of all, don’t install Saft [aaargh!] to your Safari browser.  Classic piece of annoyance-ware that won’t leave you alone until you buy it and won’t uninstall without several hours of internet research.  Here are the relevant files to delete that don’t require you to gain root access to your computer which might end up causing you more grief than Saft.  (1) Delete Saft.app from your applications folder; (2) Delete ‘com.li.hao.saft.plist’ from your user preferences folder; ~/Library/Preferences/com.li.hao.saft.plist; (3) Delete Saft from your user applications support folder, ~library/Application Support/Saft; and (4) Delete Saft from your root (not user) folder, /Library/InputManagers/Saft.  None of these files should be hidden but in case you can’t find you can use this utility dotfiles or revealhiddenfiles to reveal and hide hidden mac .files without having to fool with the Terminal yourself.

update: Google lists Saft site as attack site.  Probably due to user complaints.

update: If you want to trick out safari then try glims.  It’s free.
