Child-Tracker is detected by some antivirus software like spyware or malware. Spyware and monitoring applications seem to have much in common, since both apps deal with recording user activity on a computer. But Child-Tracker is not a spyware, and the overall user activity log is kept on Child-Tracker server in perfect security and is accessed and used solely by registered members for their own needs (and as it has been stated in previous sections, this software is intended only for legal use). So, if you face the issue when your antivirus software detects Child-Tracker as spyware or malware, go ahead and change the settings in your antivirus program (list it in exceptions/search in Google how to do it).
- Find the Child-Tracker working folder on the target computer. Usually, it is C:\Program files(x86)\Child-Tracker.
- Launch the uninstall.exe(unins000.exe) file as administrator (right-click → Run as administrator).
