I wanted to watch a video online and ended up downloading Codec-M.
After watching my video (which was slow anyway due to my internet connection... college campus, go figure) I did not want the Codec-M program and deleted the file. I just put the folder in the Trash. (Stupid idea... I know).
Now I cannot uninstall it. I know it's bad/a bad add-on.
I tried to download it again just to uninstall it but can't even do that. The download link on the official website just redirects back to the websites homepage and the contact email is invalid/inactive. I've removed it as an add-on on Safari but I cannot remove it from Firefox. I have an old version (not sure which) because I do not like the newer version or its interface much. Every time I click disable or uninstall it tells me to restart Firefox. I do so and then it says a new add-on had just been installed, like I did it all over again. I have tried to delete every file I know that had Codec-M involved but it is still here. I removed the infected files my anti-virus found (though I cannot remember if it was after or before I got the Codec-M). But Firefox opens slowly now or at least the icon on the dock moves up and down slower than usual.
Since I do not have the file folder on my MacBook anymore, I don't know what to do.
How do I uninstall/take this thing off my laptop for good?
I hope this was descriptive enough. Thanks!
