Detect and Eliminate Spyware
Surveillance programs watch your every move. Don't let someone record what you type, track where you go, or take snapshots of your screen. Internet Cleanup 4's enhanced Network SpyAlert™ makes it even easier to stop programs from making secret online connections and stop spam emails from reporting back home.
Now Selectively Block FLASH Ads
Pop-ups are distracting and annoying. Banner ads can slow down your surfing to a crawl. Netblockade™ will filter ads selectively or turn them off entirely, block pop-ups and pop-unders, and even block Flash ads! NetBlockade supports all major browsers, including Safari, Firefox, and IE.
Sort and Toss Unwelcome Email Attachments
Strip unwanted attachments from Apple Mail, Entourage, and Eudora emails without deleting the text message they arrived with, automatically! With the SmartRules™, you can sort through thousands of email for particular attachments, then delete, move, or archive them!
Cover Your Online Tracks
Wield total control over third party web cookies, or let Internet Cleanup's enhanced and automated cookie management handle the cleanup tasks for you. Erase web browser histories and cache files, erase Instant Messenger chat logs, and more.
Stop Web Sites from Watching You
Browsers store the web pages you visit! Anyone can easily examine your web browser's cache, cookies, and history of sites visited! Internet Cleanup 4 supports more browsers than ever before!
Make Sure Those Files are Truly Gone
Tossing private or confidential files in the trash doesn't prevent them from being recovered. Even emptying the trash won't protect you from prying eyes. Shred those Files! Secure Delete™ ensures your files will be permanently overwritten and completely unrecoverable.

The product continually flashes a warning saying "Processes are not working". Their website claims that only users that log in w/o admin accounts get this error message, which is a total fabrication. Internet Cleanup 5.0 does not work. To Smith Micro's credit they will refund purchases. Sad since it would be nice if the program functioned.
Don't buy the product. You'll be very disappointed

When IC 5.0 became available, I decided to give it another try thinking, "maybe Smith-Micro finally got Internet Cleanup together".......one could hope, no?
Alas, no joy...sigh.
Internet Cleanup 5.0 caused my Mac to freeze, again and again; so I trashed the diabolical thing and requested my money back, which, to Smith-Micro's credit, was granted promptly and without issue.
My anger was not justified. To remove notice, use step three: Find Apple's Automator, I destroy.
It is on Micro Smith web page. It solved the problem! Again, go to their Web site,
find stated problem and follow simple instructions.
Smith Micro is really fair and O.K.

It should do the trick....that's how I got rid of all Internet Cleanup's files many months ago.
Thanks to one of the comments in this forum, if you download the application and then run the installer application again, using the UNINSTALL feature, you can get rid of the pesky NetBlockade and Net Cleanup as well.
Thank you for this forum.

Took forever to start up, then was balky, spastic and unresponsive. And my Airport connection kept cutting out.
I then trashed this hideous monster as fast as I could! And I had to reconfigure my Airport connection, too. Everything was running smoothly until I installed this piece of ****.
I have been using Internet Cleanup since the first version....it was always fairly buggy, but this version, version 4.0, is just horrible!
I must say, I have a very low opinion of Internet Cleanup's developers. They never have been able to get their act together.

3) It's very hard/impossible to remove
4) AND IT'S SHAREWARE TOO!

i have the same pop up problem...
I've followed the step-by-step instruction which seems to work for most of the users, however I couldn't locate the files contains 'aladdinsys' and the 'allume'..the pop up still goes on and getting on my nerves..
just to avoid seeing the pop ups, I use the Mac space function and work in other spaces...
Anyway, to make a tedious story short, the NetBlocade feature (whose Icon looks like like a horizontal barber's pole, but may be intended to represent a railroad blocker) was said to block pesky popups. Actually, it blocks all sorts of things I want to see, including the Yahoo chess program. I get the icon where the board should be. The very stupid program can't distinguish some aspect of chess programs and the like from popups. So literally, no more chess on this computer.
I sought help from Allume, but got no response at all. Then -- unwisely no doubt -- I tried to "uninstall" by removing every reference to Internet Cleanup in my hard disk. Now there are no visible remnents of Internet Cleanup, but the NetBlockade is still in force. What can I do? Do I have to abort my system and start over?
1) First, go to the "Applications" folder and check to see there are NO "Internet Cleanup 1.0.x" or "Internet Cleanup 2.0.x" folders there. If there, are any, delete them.
2) Go to your "MacintoshHD:Library:CFMSupport:" location, where "MacintoshHD" is the name of your hard drive and check to see that "ICRuntimeSupportLib2" has been deleted. If it hasn't, delete it.
3) Please navigate to "MacintoshHD:System:Library:Extensions:" and make sure that "NetBlockade.kext" and "NetworkSpyAlert.kext" have been removed. If they haven't, please delete them. You'll need to authenticate to remove them. If you have trouble with step, please let me know. It's very important these files are removed or you'll continue to get expiration alerts.
4) Go to "MacintoshHD:Library:Preferences:" and remove any file that contains the "aladdinsys" or "allume" name in it.
5) Go to "MacintoshHD:Users:username:Library:Preferences:", where "username" is your login name and "MacintoshHD" is your hard drive, and remove any file that contains the "aladdinsys" or "allume" name in it.
6) Reboot your machine again. Make sure your trash is empty.**
I did this, and finally got rid off that pesky messege when i log in. Hope this works. If you have any other questions, email me at colclough5992@comcast.net
Luckily, when using Firefox, everything (except true adds) shows nicely on my window
