Rogue software

Is there a way to setup a defined rogue software (ie toolbars, bittorent, and so on) in kace that if found it will automatically uninstall it? If so, then how?

K1000 version 5.4xx.

Please and thank you.

I would say the best way to achieve this would be to create a smart label which captures the rogue software ie toolbars, bittorents,etc. Then have a script that built to remove the software or better yet run the quarantine script and remove the machine from the network.

  • The above implies that your users have local administrator privileges - how else does "rogue software" get on to your boxes? - so I'd be fixing that before doing anything else. - anonymous_9363 10 years ago
    • This is not always the case that they need admin privileges.
      As in the case of what I am looking for they do not need to be an admin to install rogue software in their own profiles. Users have access to their own profile/ files. And attackers take advantage of this.
      A lot of the java attacks work around the need for admin privileges also. - SMal.tmcc 10 years ago
      • here is a hit of a user that has installed chrome and a web cam in his profile, he is not an admin.
