[QUOTE="plat, post: 800014, member: 74969"] I'm a basic user but can answer your questions to some extent: 1. Very stable. However, when the April 2019 update rolls around, I will remove it, update, then re-install it and check. OSArmor doesn't auto-update; the developer visits here and at Wilders Security to introduce new beta builds. The stable version is on the NVT website. The developer did acknowledge auto-update requests but did not provide a hard-and-fast eta. This is a free software, remember. 2. No uninstaller--the software uninstalls cleanly from Control Panel/Programs and Features. Both drivers are removed with no problems. You can make a backup of the configurations if you'd added or subtracted from the defaults. I do this routinely and save the RULES file in C:\Documents. If you reinstall later, you can then add your rules back with the Configurator/Main Protections/Load from file tab at the bottom. When uninstalling, you'll get a little box asking if you want to remove settings, logs, etc. When I've chosen to remove everything, I checked in registry via NVTOSArmor and OSArmor and there were no remaining entries. :emoji_ok_hand: When enabling any rules that aren't already enabled, I'd start with the ones that do not have an orange or red "i" in order to shy away from false positives which can be confusing and annoying to someone who isn't used to this kind of thing.
