Instructions for uninstalling the G DATA Agent on Linux

There are two different ways to remove the G DATA Agent from a Linux system. We recommend uninstalling via the G DATA Web-Portal.

Uninstalling via the G DATA Web-Portal

The easiest way to uninstall an G DATA Agent is to initiate the uninstallation via the G DATA Web-Portal. If you choose a different method, you require an uninstall token. You can obtain it from our G DATA Security Operations Team.

Log in to the G DATA Web-Portal.

2

Go to the Endpoints view and open the details panel for the endpoint from which you want to remove the G DATA Agent. To do so, click the relevant endpoint in the overview list.

3

Click Uninstall Agent.

If you want to permanently remove the device from monitoring, enable the checkbox Remove endpoint from the endpoint list now. If this is a temporary uninstallation of the Agent, the endpoint can remain in the list so that the assignment to the Organization Unit remains in place.

For the uninstallation methods described below, you require an uninstall token. To obtain it, you must contact our G DATA Security Operations Team. We recommend uninstalling via the G DATA Web-Portal, because you can perform this independently.
