Hey friends,

 

I'm relatively new to OSX, and I was hoping that y'all might be able to give me some advice about a few processes that are running on my computer that are marked as "PowerPC" in the Activity Monitor.

 

First, Norton Anti-Virus came preinstalled on the Powerbook G4 that I transferred settings from when I got the MBP, and I can't get it off. The Uninstaller doesn't work; neither does auto-update. Here are the apps running related to NAV. I don't know how to tactfully uninstall this; maybe it's as simple as finding the files and deleting them, or maybe not. Please advise:

 

ScanNotification

SymSecondaryLaunch

 

Then, there's two Microsoft Apps that are related to an old version of Intellimouse. I've updated to 6.0, but these programs are still running:

 

Microsoft AU Daemon

Microsoft Keyboard Helper

 

again, any uninstallation advice?

 

finally, there's a program called only

 

translate

 

and I'm not sure what that is.

 

Any help y'all can offer would be much appreciated.

for tricksy things which wont uninstall you could try something like these:

or

also, translate *is* rosetta (part of it at least). you dont want to remove that, in case you come across some osx app you really need which is ppc only.
