The product is extremely difficult to remove. The ComputraceOne software incorporates self-healing technology which functions to rebuild the agent software installation even if the agent service is deleted by conventional means. The self-healing function is not resident within the file system and is more difficult to detect and remove than “normal” software. We call this technology “persistence.” The persistent and self-healing portion of the software is difficult to remove because it is stealthy. The software is normally removed only by an authorized user with the correct password. The self-healing feature will function to repair a ComputraceOne installation in newly formatted and installed operating systems as well as freshly imaged systems. This “persistent” design is maximized with the persistence module in the BIOS.
