There are three ways you can uninstall the Antimalware Agent from a managed device:
Remove the Antimalware Enforcement Policy assignment from the device in ZENworks Control Center
If you remove the policy assignment, there is a 10 minute delay before the removal starts. This delay provides a way to prevent the uninstall through policy removal if you want to replace the policy with another Antimalware Enforcement Policy. If a new policy is applied with a device refresh before the 10 minutes expire, removal of the Antimalware Agent will be ignored.
Uninstall the ZENworks Agent
Run the zac malware-remove or zac mr command from the command line on the device
The Antimalware Agent does display in the Windows Program and Features list as ZENworks Endpoint Security
, but for security reasons, you cannot uninstall the agent using Windows.
For more in formation about Endpoint Security policy removal in general, see Policy Removal
in the ZENworks Endpoint Security Policies Reference.
