I Need Some Major Help!

Here is what I did. Bsd has this port system that has thousands of programs.
I donloaded one called "Altivore" so that I could check my security.

This damn program is catching my packets at my ISP's server level. This is
the only way I can explain it. When you sruf the net you send packets to
what ever website you visit, This program is somehow catching and decoding
my packets from the sever level.

When I surf the net it splits the packets at the server level and sends them
to a folder I created. It's killing my memory. At this rate my hardrive
will be full in a week...How do you get rid of it??

I can't disable it or do anything, can't uninstall it. It has a safety lock
or something.Not sure what to do..I sure could use some help..
HOW DO I DELETE THIS THING???
Here is the program/Dc.
---------------------------
This is a program containing the features of the
of the FBI's "Carnivore" program. It is intended to serve
as a point of discussion about Carnivore features. It has not been
thoroughly tested and contains numerous bugs.

This may also serve as an "alternative" for ISPs who do not wish
to install a black-box from the FBI. Court orders demanding data
from the ISP do not necessarily require that Carnivore must be used
if the ISP is able to obtain the data in another manner.

This software may also be useful in network management, such as
backing up data or sniffing a consumer's connection when
they are reporting problems to customer support.

Since you know the directory in which the program is installed, can
you not boot from floppy and delete the files? Then it's simply a
matter of cleaning up the clutter the program left behind.

Regcleaner can clean up the registry entries (and any other slop you
have left over from other uninstalled programs).

What do you get when you switch to /usr/ports/security/altivore and type
"make deinstall"?

I tried everything I could think of. When I tried to make deinstall
"Premission Denied" When I opened the program with text-edit and made
changes, It would not let me save the new settings. I got mad and did a
clean install. I guess the best way to test your security is with Nessus.
If there is a hole that should find it.

Thanks for all the help..

No biggie. We worked the same side of the fence a year or so ago in
dispatching the EE trolls from ap. Time does fly when one is having
fun, eh?

If you can't uninstall it, it might have planted something in the registry.
Perhaps you could run Spybot and then try to uninstall it.
