Uninstalling Antidote 10

Prerequisites

• Antivirus and anti-spyware programs are disabled.
• All applications are closed.
• For network installation only:
  • The Antidote folder is protected and cannot be accessed over the network by any other user. The Antidote folder indicates the location in which Antidote is installed (e.g. F:\Antidote or F:\Program Files\Druide\Antidote 10).
  • Users who share applications (particularly Antidote) from this server must be disconnected from the shared folder. It is not enough for them to quit Antidote.
  • The client workstation from which you are carrying out the operation has read, write, delete and create access to the Antidote folder.

Before the removal can be completed, two conditions need to be fulfilled:

• Antidote 10 has been uninstalled from all client workstation.
• Antidote’s clean-up (deletion of registry keys) has been completed in each of the user accounts on the client workstation on which it was installed.

Once both conditions are fulfilled, delete the shared Antidote 10 folder to complete the removal.

Uninstalling an administrative installation (run from source only) by GPO

To uninstall Antidote 10, proceed as follows:

1. Ensure that the conditions are met (see prerequisites).
2. Use GPO to control the client portion of the uninstall on the workstations.
3. Only delete the shared Antidote 10 folder once the Antidote clean-up (deletion of registry keys) has been completed in each of the user accounts on which it was installed.

   Uninstalling Antidote from a client workstation will add a registry key (windows/run) to that workstation to clean up user accounts (delete registry keys) when each account is opened.
