I had the software for a Vodafone mobile dongle installed on my 10.5 mac which caused a 5 minute beach ball after I installed Snow Leopard. Maybe installing rosetta as prompted would have made it work, but I just wanted to rid myself of this nastiness since I’m not using the dongle any more anyway.

Dear google, this is what I did, YMMV:

Remove the following from /Library/LaunchAgents/

cn.com.zte.usbswapper.plist
de.novamedia.NovamediaDiskSupressor

Remove mac_swapperdemon from system preferences user > accounts > user login items

Remove

/Library/Application support/Vodafone
/Applications/Vodafone mobile connect

Update: also discovered some kernel extensions to remove

sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/USBExpressCardCantWake_Huawei.kext
sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/ZTEUSBCDCACMControl.kext
sudo rm /System/Library/Extensions/ZTEUSBCDCACMData.kext
