How to Remove a Kaseya Agent:

1) Windows Hidden Type:
%programfiles%\InstallShield Installation
Information\{48C76121-4F90-11D5-9884-0050BA85A903}\Setup.exe UNINSTALL

2) OS X:

1. Download the file KaseyaUninstall.pkg.zip file from here, and copy it
onto the Mac.

2. Expand the ZIP archive.

3. Run KaseyaUninstall.pkg installer and choose to Install to the Macintosh
Harddrive. Although this appears to be installing a product, it is actually
running the uninstallation script for the Kaseya agent.

4. Log in with the user that installed the agent initially and delete the
/var/tmp/kpid file. To do this launch Terminal and run the rm -rf
/var/tmp/kpid command.

5. Remove the agent with root rights, i.e. in Terminal run the sudo rm -rf
/var/tmp/kpid command and then provide the root password

6. The Kaseya agent and associated files will be removed.

WorkArounds:

Chrome does not currently have an active Kaseya Agent plugin for OS X or
Linux Chrome:

This agent allows a remote party to completely control or watch everything
done on the desktop on various systems using a Firefox or script plugin.

It's similar to LivePerson cookies but much more powerful.

so is it a weakness in the client that someone can break into, or is
it a heathy paranoia of such clients exiting with a managed company
