How to un- and re- install Photoshop Extension Manager

[davidc1815]

I am trying to uninstall the extension MagicPicker 5.2 and install 5.3 but can not get extension manager to do this.  Does anyone have extension manager working correctly in Photoshop CC2018?  I have uninstalled the extension manager in Add Remove Programs but it is still in the W10 Pro list of Adobe applications and is still working in CC2018. It is very very slow and MagicPicker 5.2 is so slow to load it is unusable.  That is why I am trying to install 5.3.  A futher complication is that Norton Security is zapping MagicPicker zxp file as a threat before it installs.  A mess.  I do want a circular colour picker and like the tone lock on Magicpicker but it is not playing nicely now.  Grateful for any advice.

The adobe extension manager doesn't work for photoshop since adobe switched from flash extensions to HTML extensions in one of the photoshop cc 2014 updates.

Better to use a third party extension manager like

Anastasiy's Extension Manager for Adobe platform

Thanks for your helpful advice.  I have tried to install his extension manager but when I do Norton won't let it through and Windows won't accept it:

I'm lost on this.

You can try turning off Norton while you install the software.

You'll probably have to ask on the Norton forum why it's flagging those as threats.

You can use VirusTotal to scan the files.

Thanks, Jeff.  I'll ask in the Norton Forum.

Hi David,

You may want to try asking Anastasiy: https://anastasiy.com/support

And yes, Adobe's Extension Manager won't work with Ps CC 19.0.

Thanks.  Anastasiy advised me to turn off Norton and let his Extension Manager install. I did and it did.  Then MagicPicker 5.3 installed ok, and for good measure, is quicker loading in CC2018 than version 5.2.  Norton Forum members showed me a Norton document that said that the particular threat Norton saw was actually based on a low number of users rather than an actual threat. All ok now.

Magicpicker is a joke. Why Adobe would let such a scam software onto their platform is beyond me. It never works. It's basically nagware, constantly needing more money. I want it off my system. It's like a virus. WILL SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO GET IT OFF MY SYSTEM?
