Next steps

You can also uninstall the endpoint through the command line by running this command:

Here, <path> is the path to your endpoint package, and xxxx is the anti-tampering password you set in the cloud portal.

Important: If you uninstall the endpoint client, be sure to restart your operating system or your web browsing experience may be affected.

To stop the endpoint client, navigate to the endpoint installation folder and run this command:

Replace <password> with the anti-tampering password.
