AppRemover is a module in OPSWAT’s OESIS Framework for developers and technology vendors embedding endpoint protection into their products.
What AppRemover is
AppRemover is a module in OPSWAT’s OESIS Framework for developers and technology vendors embedding endpoint protection into their products. It can remove more than 2,000 versions of enterprise and consumer applications, including legacy security software and unsanctioned tools that may create performance, compatibility, or compliance risks. Removal can run silently without end-user interaction and can clear registry entries, temporary folders, and files left after uninstalling. It can also handle cases where an application password is unknown or the application file is corrupted. Developers can use command-line functionality in scripts or integrate removal through C++ APIs. OESIS Framework provides C++ libraries, a JSON input/output protocol, and sample projects in C, C++, Python, Ruby, and Objective-C. The support matrix includes Windows 11 and several macOS versions, while listed Linux distributions are marked unsupported. Pricing is available on request.
