Hi, a guy I know told me it is very difficult to uninstall Cisco VPN Clinet
from OS X.
Is this true?

Thanks,

Mike.

Remove the app and /System/Library/Extensions/CiscoVPN.kext.

This program actually comes with its own uninstaller.

sudo /usr/local/bin/vpn_uninstall

But it doesn't get everything apparently, so you can follow up with

sudo rm -fr /Library/Receipts/vpn*
