Has Anti Beacon changed my system?

[Löwin]

Dear PepiMK,

on my new system I installed Anti Beacon Free by mistake and it ran for a few starts without me checking it or changing anything. When some problems in the OS occured I deinstalled it through the Windows 11 Pro settings that told me that not all parts could be removed. Questions now: What did the Anti Beacon App do? Has it left any lasting changes? In case of yes what shall I do? And is it necessary to remove its remainings?

Thank you very much for your help in advance and hearty greetings!

I wouldn't call it a mistake, but of course, I'm biased

If you did not let it change anything, it won't have done anything to your system.

It has an active part that stays in the background - could it be that it told you parts could not be removed until the next system restart? Sometimes this cannot be removed without a reboot.

Sure, I understand : )

Well, after each start it showed me the circle running through but I did nothing do actively in the settings. So, I can be calm?!!

No, the system told me that some parts I had to remove manually

Those would then most likely be logs. Since you haven't applied any changes, you won't need them. But we should update the uninstaller to remove these as well in the future!
