How to uninstall Safe Surfer for Windows 10

This guide will show you how to uninstall the Safe Surfer for Windows app on a Windows 10 computer, along with any protection installation remaining on the device.

If you have already uninstalled the Safe Surfer app itself and the protection still remains on the computer, you will need to redownload the app installer from the Safe Surfer dashboard (https://my.safesurfer.io) on the device itself so that you can uninstall the protection from within the app. Uninstalling the app won't uninstall the protection—this can only be done inside the app itself. To download the latest app installer on the Safe Surfer dashboard, click the Devices menu on the left-hand sidebar > New device > This device > Get the Windows app > click the blue Download button > click the three-dot button at the upper-right corner of the dashboard > Log out.
