How to uninstall agent

Open r4yzs opened this issue 2 years ago • 6 comments

Hello,

I have setup meshagent with a link from a person.

He taked the control of my computer and now I want to be sure that meshagent is not on my computer.

I don't have program or something else, how can I be sure that he can't have control again ?

Thanks.

Which OS?

Running on Windows 11

For windows, you can click start, and then type programs into search, and select Add/Remove Programs. You'll find the meshagent in that, with an uninstall button.

For all other platforms, you can go to /usr/local/mesh_services Then from inside the agent folder, run: sudo ./meshagent -fulluninstall

You can also do the same for windows as well, except it would be in Program Files

Thanks for your reply, but the problem is that I don't have any program or any folders with Meshagent or Mesh.

I think it's a silence installation. I don't see it on "processus".

How it's possible ?

Open regedit, and find the keys at: HKLM/Software/Open Source There will be a key there for the agent service name.

If someone gave you a link for the agent, I don't think it was to install the agent. That link is usually to run the agent in interactive mode. That is, when the application exits, the agent is no longer connected and no longer accessible, which is probably why you don't find any trace of it.

Ok, I deleted all keys on register with meshagent.

I hope that it can't see my computer now.

Thanks
