I personally did not need the extension. Found a MIT link that showed how to remove, but for some reason I cannot post the link here, so the steps are below. I only did the uninstall and the prompt was removed. I'd assume you'd be able to re-download the application if you needed.
Note:There is a downloader script in inside
/opt/cisco/vpn/bin , so you may be able to re-download it using that.
To remove manually:
Code Block | $ sudo /opt/cisco/vpn/bin/vpn_uninstall.sh |
If you still having trouble and/or the new Cisco Anyconnect installation complains that you have a version installed, follow these steps:
Enter these commands to clean out the old Cisco VPN kernel extension and reboot the system.
Code Block | sudo -s |
| rm -rf /System/Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN |
| rm -rf /Library/StartupItems/CiscoVPN |
| rm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext |
| rm -rf /Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext |
| rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-kext.pkg |
| rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-startup.pkg |
| reboot |
If you installed the Cisco VPN for Mac version 4.1.08005 package, enter these commands to delete the misplaced files. The deletion of these files will not affect your system, since applications do not use these misplaced files in their current location.
Code Block | sudo -s |
| rm -rf /Cisco\ VPN\ Client.mpkg |
| rm -rf /com.nexUmoja.Shimo.plist |
| rm -rf /Profiles |
| rm -rf /Shimo.app |
| exit |
Enter these commands if you no longer need the old Cisco VPN Client or Shimo.
Code Block | sudo -s |
| rm -rf /Library/Application\ Support/Shimo |
| rm -rf /Library/Frameworks/cisco-vpnclient.framework |
| rm -rf /Library/Extensions/tun.kext |
| rm -rf /Library/Extensions/tap.kext |
| rm -rf /private/opt/cisco-vpnclient |
| rm -rf /Applications/VPNClient.app |
| rm -rf /Applications/Shimo.app |
| rm -rf /private/etc/opt/cisco-vpnclient |
| rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-api.pkg |
| rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-bin.pkg |
| rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-gui.pkg |
| rm -rf /Library/Receipts/vpnclient-profiles.pkg |
| rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.nexUmoja.Shimo.plist |
| rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Shimo |
| rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.cisco.VPNClient.plist |
| rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/SyncServices/Local/TFSM/com. |
| nexumoja.Shimo.Profiles |
| rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/Shimo* |
| rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Shimo |
| rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/Growl/Tickets/Shimo.growlTicket |
| exit |
Finally this.
Code Block | sudo pkgutil --forget com.cisco.pkg.anyconnect.vpn |
