Is there an uninstaller app that is recommended

After having a new logic board installed on my MacMini, the cyber app (Eset Cyber Security) I had is no longer able to be opened, and the uninstaller in the app's package contents won't run saying "corrupted". It says unsinstaller.sh should be run in Terminal, but I don't know the script and Apple Support has cautioned me against using Terminal. I am advised not so simply drag the app to the bin. As a result I am unable to install the new version of the cyber app. Is there an uninstaller app that is safe and recommended? Or other steps that can be advised? I am on Tahoe.

If going this route - I suggest Not using Startup Assist to migrate everything back.


This will probably Re-Introduce ( ESET ) back into the Operating System .

Windows-like viruses that self-replicate and affect macOS don’t exist because of the underlying UNIX Foundation and permission limitations.


The macOS operating system resides in a sealed and read-only volume that can’t be opened by users or third-party applications.


Mac app security enhancements are sufficient to protect computers from malware.


Adware and Malware can affect computers and are often downloaded from “shady” websites or developers who inject them into downloads.
