#Remove eset endpoint antivirus software

I had installed agent software for eset endpoint antivirus which is a small code that takes care of communication between the server & node.īut finally was able to locate the directory of installation cd /opt/eset/esets/bin & found a folder called setup that had the required uninstall.sh. Here it is, the English uninstallation instruction.: I would be more than amazed if they have not also placed the same instructions on your local disk during the installation.

Give me 5 or 10 more minutes to find the corresponding English document on the Eset webpages. It took me 5 minutes to find the (localized German) uninstallation instruction for Eset for Linux Desktops. You should make it a habit to locate and read the installation and uninstallation instructions, which come with (commercial) software.

shall definitely be more careful whil running any install script next time. Not so experienced with linux, but the steps you have outlined are so easy to understand. Else, if just trying a program, consider doing so on a virtual machine so you don't change your main OS. If they provide no instructions or command to uninstall - who wrote this software, a 4th grader? Anyway maybe a useful lesson - before installing with some random installer script see if there is a way to uninstall. Maybe you can find that with locate but probably end up having to go through the.

But considering this software likely puts itself deep in your operating system (and maybe even a kernel module?) it will likely also have put files under /etc and maybe elsewhere under /usr. Hoppefully it's in somewhere under /usr/local/, in a directory solely for that software so that you can just remove the entire directory. As in locate eraagent for the process name you gave. Or if you see process names in your process list you know belong to this software, you can use locate to find where they might likely be. sh file where it installs the software and manually delete everything it installed (hopefully). Perhaps there is a different flag for removing the softwar?Īnd if there is no flag to remove the software you can probably piece together from the.

sh file and see if it even supports flags like -uninstall. If they provide no documentation for uninstalling, read the.
