Earthlink total access - Version: 3.5, 4/13/2007 08:30AM PST

I downloaded Earthlink Total Access several months ago and since then I have been having nothing but screw ups with my computer. Several programs do not run properly now and every time I turn on the computer several different windows will pop up stating that total access did not load properly. I have made several attempts to reload the program hoping it would fix the problem but it never has, and I have also tried repeatedly to remove the program from my computer but it will not remove no matter what I try. Does any one know how to solve this problem? cherylnjoey@earthlink.net

The short: TotalAccess' ScamBlocker makes a local proxie on HTTP port 8090, which screws up Safari, iTunes, and probably any other Apple software that uses HTTP (Firefox continues to work).

The long:I have only used this tool to evaluate it for my boss, and therefore have only used it a couple of times intermittenly. I just updated from 1.3 to 1.4, but decided to remove TotalAccess from my system because it offered no advantages other than allowing me to quickly set phone numbers for travel. When I removed it from my system, I suddenly lost the ability to use Safari (FireFox and terminal still worked). I do not have a subscription to MacFixit so I set out to figure what happen on my own. Interestingly, when I reinstalled TA1.4, Safari started worked again, but ONLY when I had TotalAccess' ScamBlocker enabled. When I quite TA1.4, again Safari failed. Longer story short, ScamBlocker enables an http web proxie on port 8090 on the local machine. If you remove this product and cannot access the web, go to the Network System Preference pane, and make sure that under Proxies for each of your interfaces (it did it for Airport and Modem on the recently active Locations) that you clear out the Web Proxy (HTTP) check-box. If you set up any other recent locations with TotalAccess, make sure to check all Location's Proxies.

What a flipping nightmare! Earthlink makes NO mention of this in their uninstall directions.
