Hello to all,
I am new to this forum. I have macbook pro which has Mac OS X installed in it. I have installed avast antivirus on my computer. My computer is used by various persons. I want to prevent them by uninstalling avast from my computer. Can anyone tell me how to prevent other users from uninstalling avast? Please help me.
Thank you.
Hey as per my knowledge normal person are not able to make changes in the content of Applications directly. It means only administrator of that computer is able to make that changes in the application of software. In this case make your account as administrator so that no one can change or uninstall any application install in your computer like avast.
Hey you have to lock your Mac so that no one can access your computer and no one can uninstall avast from your computer. You can lock your computer in the following ways.
1.First go to the Apple menu-> now choose System Preferences.
2.Now choose Security.
3.Now checked the box for Require password to wake this computer from sleep or screen saver.
4.Now by clicking back button go to the main System Preferences window -> now choose Desktop & Screen Saver.
5.Click on the Hot Corners. Now set the location and size of the screen saver.
6.Now click on the OK button. Now using screen saver you can protect your Mac. If anyone try to deactivate the screen saver, he will have to enter your password.
You have to Password Protect Your Mac at Login so that no one can enter your computer and uninstall avast from your computer. You can do this using following steps.
1.First go to the Apple menu-> now choose System Preferences.
2.Now select Security.
3.Now Disable checkbox of "Disable automatic login ".
4.Now click on the back button and go to the main System Preferences window -> now select Accounts.
5.Now choose Login Options. check that Automatically log in as checkbox is unchecked.
6. Now close the System Preferences.
NOTE :When you next time start your computer, a list of users is available. Now select your user name and enter password.
Hey as per my knowledge there is no way to prevent other users from uninstalling avast from your computer. I also wanted to do same setting for my computer, but I unable to find any solution. I search on the internet, but I unable to find right solution. I think you have to make administrator account in your computer so that no one access your computer.
