The Antimalware database requires data-such as devices, policies, assignments, and configuration settings-to be synced to it from the ZENworks database. In addition, if the Antimalware Enforcement policy is also not removed from the device, the Antimalware Agent will be reinstalled at the next refresh to comply with the policy. The command requires ZENworks administrator credentials. The zac malware-remove-agent (mr) command can also be used on a device to uninstall the Antimalware Agent.

For example, ZAV.UninstallWindow with a value of 60 increases the delay to one hour. You can use the ZAV.UninstallWindow system variable in ZENworks Control Center to increase the uninstall delay at the zone level for all devices (Configuration > Management Zone Settings > Device Management > System Variables), at the device folder (folder > Settings > Device Management > System Variables), or the device (device > Settings > Device Management > System Variables).

The uninstall is delayed 10 minutes to ensure that the assignment removal was intentional. When the Antimalware Enforcement policy is unassigned from a device and the device receives the assignment change during the next ZENworks Agent refresh, the Antimalware Agent is uninstalled from the device.
