To remove a specific package, use the apt-get remove command: sudo apt-get remove package_name For example, dpkg may remove the specified package, but all of its dependencies will remain on the system and may no longer function correctly. The recommended option is to use a package manager that will remove all dependencies. After I do these steps, we don't get alerts.Note: Using dpkg to remove software packages is not recommended. We have an EDR that alerts when it sees this running. MBAM is nice, but it doesn't fix everything like many sys admins seem to think it does.

I work in information security and actually do this. Then I delete any short cuts from the start menu, pinned to the taskbar, the desktop, and the original static file where they installed it.Īlso note, that there are multiple versions of this browsers and different actors distributing it, so it's possible you're seeing a different one. It establishes persistence on the machine, which is why I make sure the services are deleted, any start up tasks are deleted, and the processes are deleted. Yes, uninstallers can run malicious code. There aren't 57 commands there because I'm running its uninstaller first. Feel free to actually list them if you'd like more specific commands.

The files underneath seem to delete though - as long as processes aren't using them - just the folder giving issues uninstalling.įirst of all, if you're talking about "traces" that could mean running processes, services, static files in whole directory structure, or registry key entries. Other times, you need to check permissions and make sure your permissions are not denied. I had to check the processes again, and kill them again. Sometimes that Wavesor Software directory will not uninstall.
