Unable to reinstall Mac Home AV free ed

greiggy

I have used this successfully for a while, but the upgrade to Mavericks and 9.1 seems to have killed it. The auto-update became sporadic and then gave continual authentication errors. It did manage to complete a scan, but the progress window showed otherwise. All a bit flaky.

I decided to remove it with AppZapper and reinstall. The installer runs, but it quits with an "unable to install" message. What is the wisdom on this?

    Oh, looks like you need to type...

    chmod +x remove_v9.sh

    ...before typing the command that runs the script.  Reason being that downloading the file and changing the extensions means the script isn't seen by the filesystem as a 'runnable' file.  If you need a demo watch/listen to the video below.
