Why FlashGot detects nonexist download managers?

Post by instanton »

I updated my browser on Mac to firefox4 today and found myself have to use flashgot in order to work with a download manager. The strange thing is that FlashGot detects automatically Speed Download Lite as an available download manager. I remember that I once tested Speed Download Lite but then deleted it with AppZapper almost 3 years ago. So I am pretty sure that Speed Download Lite is Not available as a download manager on my system. The question is where does FlashGot find any traces of Speed Download Lite?

Because they're there :)
Looks like AppZapper wasn't enough (you probably should have used Speed Download's own uninstaller, if provided).
