Mail is giving me a headache with sending, and I don't know if the pop-up problem is still associated with this. ![]() I wish I could understand why all this happened: any ideas? I think VPN Unlimited was modifying some security stuff under the hood, but I doubt they'll admit to that. It's still a pig since I have to re-enter it every time my Mac sleeps.

Hi, It's possible some bad files are buried in the system-any suggestions for a good uninstaller (better than the Fortinet uninstaller) or what should be deleted?
