You were saying — “That’s one reason I’m stalling, but I’ve also seen lots of complaints that the Little Snitch uninstaller doesn’t really fully remove it, and you have to jump down the command line and manually remove some things if I decide I don’t want to keep/pay for it. No big deal but as I said this thing is running great right now and I don’t really feel like monkeying with it, at all.”
Well..., if you want to test out some software, first, before deciding to buy it, you could test out Little Snitch and Clean App. I think Clean App will remove all of a program (if it works right, of course..., not always absolutely guaranteed, but it should work). I believe Little Snitch is fully functional for 30 days, but I may be wrong.
And.., if you wanted to get an operating version of Clean App, you can go the route of BitTorrent and to The Pirate Bay and get a torrent download of Clean App. I have bought all my programs, but there are times when I don’t want to buy without really testing something out, first. And so, that always works for me.
You can use “Transmission” for your BitTorrent client...

Be sure to activate the “blocklist” of IP numbers in the preferences panel of Transmission to eliminate a lot of “tracking sources” from your IP numbers, plus other bad sources.
I’ve never had any problems with Transmission or The Pirate Bay. They’ve got a Mac programs section there. Sometimes they are overloaded on their search function and it stalls, so I use Google to search their site, instead of their own search engine.

I’ll pass on the Pirate Bay recommendation, that’s one of the few places that’s known to carry Mac trojans like the iWork 09 one. Good idea on the Clean App though, one of the very first things I installed was App Zapper, based on the recommendation of others and the great reviews online, and while Little Snitch actually includes and uninstaller apparently it leaves active daemons behind, do you know if either of these clean up programs will clean those up as well? Worst case is probably having to go down to the command line. Thanks again for your recommendations.

ROBOBOT For anyone else that has problems removing the UIAgent after uninstalling Little Snitch:
I had to open up a terminal and open launchctl.
enter “list” to see the daemons controlled by launchd.
I had a LittleSnitchUI daemon as well as a LittleSnitchNeworkMonitor daemon, even after I uninstalled!
Enter remove for each one you want to remove.
