[Installed pulseway, uninstalled, now my system is borked]

Hi there,

Thank you for trying Pulseway and taking the time to write your experience with it. Pulseway is not a virus and once it's uninstalled from your systems it will not leave anything behind. I can try to diagnose your system errors if you would post some screenshots or more information of what's happening.

PS: Pulseway will never interfere with 3rd party products so if your antivirus product has stopped it can be related to the fact that system errors are showing up after a boot.

I've found out what the issue is.

 

It seems pulseway managed to broke all of my microsoft visual c++ instalations (all would give errors upon attempting to start them), so yes, pulseway IS interfering with 3rd party products.

As a matter of how certain I am this was caused by pulseway, well think about it like this, for the past 2+ years I haven't installed any product on my system, I only kept updating the products I had, and as soon as I installed and uninstalled pulseway these issues started surfacing.

 

This doesn't seem like a coincidence, so please let your developer team know that their product installation or uninstallation is breaking the following:

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 x86 Redistributable

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2013 Redistributable (x64)

- Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable 4.0 Refresh

 

Tested via various games that would require one of each of those programs, it seems I had to reinstall all of them in order to fix this.

I simply tried the system as I saw it getting advertised on LinusTechTips, but after installing it I saw that it doesn't have the features I needed so I uninstalled it.

 

Problem was after uninstalling it I kept getting system errors upon PC restarts and now some of my games simply stopped working, and to top it all off I noticed that my antivirus solutions had been turned off (malwarebytes and bitdefender).

 

Is this program a virus advertising itself as a remote viewing solution?
