Folks,
I did a search in regards to this issue but can't seem to find much about it. II downloaded SpeedDownload from the MacOSX downloads section of Apple.com, didn't like it and removed it but now when I go to download anything further from the downloads section, or any other site for that matter, the page tries to connect to the file but then reverts back to itself.

Something weird was happening so I apple-clicked the link to open it in a new tab in safari and then found that it goes to this file locally.

file:///private/tmp/501/Temporary%20Items/.__SDPluginHelper.html

So obviously there is a plug-in error somewhere but how do I fix this? I think it mainly occurs with .sit files at the moment, .dmg files download fine.

Thanks in advance,
Steve

You have to reinstall it, then use the included uninstaller that comes with the download to properly get rid of it.
