No group or user should have access anymore to the Software Reporter Tool. Select apply and in the Windows Security prompt 'yes.'.Click on 'Disable inheritance' and select 'remove all inherited permissions from this object.'.Select Advanced on the page that opens.Right-click on the folder SwReporter and select Properties from the menu.While you can delete the content of the entire folder or rename the executable file itself, doing so offers a temporary recourse only as Google will push the Software Reporter Tool to the system again when the web browser is updated.Ī better option is to remove permissions so that no user (or Google) may access the folder or run the Software Reporter Tool.
You may use other software, antivirus software for instance, to remove threats or potentially unwanted programs from the system. Note: Blocking access to the program may prevent Google from removing problematic software from the system or informing you about it.
