It is actually very easy to uninstall. The process is really quite simple but a bit different depending on your Operating System.

Now I’m pretty happy with my Magic Jack, and I have no need to uninstall it at this point. However, if I ever need to uninstall the magicJack software it will be super easy. In the past it was more complicated and you had to find and use the mjremover.exe file to remove the software from your computer but now it’s much simpler, of course unless you have a MAC. But MAC users should be quite use to this by now as it’s the case with most smaller non mainstream software applications.
