  1. Log on to your Mac as an Administrator.
  2. Open Terminal.
  3. Type in the following command: sudo /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.f-secure.fsvpn-service-helper.production --uninstall-app , and press Enter.
  4. Type in your Administrator password when asked.

Note: Should the above fail, follow the steps below to manually remove FREEDOME.
