I ditched the whole package of Internet Cleaner: both trashed the folder and ran the uninstall. Did a doublecheck by searching for "NetBlockade.kext" and "NetworkSpyAlert.kext" files. Found that "NetBlockade.kext" was still in Extensions folder and, when I tried to trash it, message box popped up stating "Operation could not be completed because this item owned by root". I tried changing ownership to me (the user), but to no avail (now message simply asserted that it could not be deleted). Any suggestions on how to get rid of it?
