aussieguy 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 I have no use for Evernote so have deleted it. However, whenever I open my browser a small window with "evernote_native.bin is safe" appears. Norton has identified the location but I see that there are two other Evernote files in the same location. These files are "evernote_usage_metrics" and "evernote_webclipper.sqlite". Can I safely delete these three files? The location on my laptop is "(my name)\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\wuqc0b0t.default" Thank you for your help. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,536 Posted June 11, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hi. Since you have the original file names, why not rename those two files - add ".deleteme" to the end of the name - and restart your system. If there's any adverse response, change the name back; if not, remove the files in a week or so. They appear to be evernote-specific files in a Firefox directory, so shouldn't pose any risk, but since Norton apparently has them on its radar, you never know... Link to comment

SebR 146 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 You have the Web clipper still installed in Firefox, check your Firefox's extensions. Link to comment
Level 5* gazumped 9,536 Posted June 11, 2015 Level 5* Share Posted June 11, 2015 Revo won't work if an app has already been uninstalled - you'd have to reinstall and then Revo uninstall it. Link to comment
aussieguy 0 Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 To all those who posted replies to my question as to whether or not I could safely delete three files, the answer from SebR did the trick. I went to Firefox extensions, deleted the Evernote webclipper file and hey presto, no more advice window from Norton when I start my browser. Thanks guys. Link to comment

If the program is not listed in Revo Uninstaller Pro you can use Forced Uninstall feature of Revo Uninstaller Pro, which does not require a program to be installed or listed properly - just browse to its folder/file and enter its name.
