Incompatible Applications

Which applications should you uninstall before installing the StaffCounter agent for Windows?

1. Antivirus programs that are fundamentally incompatible with monitoring software:

  • Norton Antivirus
  • Dr. Web Antivirus
  • Acronis Cyber Protect
  • McAfee Antivirus
  • Bitdefender
  • AVG Antivirus

Some of these security solutions ignore exclusion settings and may block any third-party monitoring application. Others actively analyze system behavior and may detect monitoring tools as potentially unwanted programs (PUPs).

2. Other monitoring applications:

  • Previous versions of the StaffCounter agent
  • Kidlogger parental control software
  • Other monitoring tools based on open-source versions of StaffCounter or KidLogger
