I wish I could remember / find it right now, maybe it was my Witopia VPN? Need to check...

Anyway, I've had at least one application that said to remove it, first delete it, AND THEN EMPTY THE TRASH (?!?!) and maybe even reboot. Most of us are probably more troubled by the trash-empty thing than the reboot thing.

EDIT: OK Alzheimer's hasn't gotten me yet. It was Witopia / personalVPN:

Just search the page for the word "empty". It reads:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

2. If you already had the WiTopia personalVPN app installed previously: Go to your FINDER > Applications folder > Drag the WiTopia app from there to the trash > and empty the trash* to remove the existing app.

* If the trash is not emptied, this will not work!
