For example, anything containing the terms mono or xamarin.

In Explorer, delete any remaining files from the Xamarin Visual Studio extension folders (all versions, including both Program Files and Program Files (x86)): C:\Program Files*\Microsoft Visual Studio 1*.0\Common7\IDE\Extensions\Xamarinĭelete Visual Studio's MEF component cache directory, which should be located in the following location: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\1*.0\ComponentModelCacheĬheck in the VirtualStore directory to see if Windows might have stored any overlay files for the Extensions\Xamarin or ComponentModelCache directories there: %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore Navigate to Programs and Features or Programs > Uninstall a Program as illustrated below:įrom the Control Panel, uninstall any of the following that are present: Xamarin can be uninstalled from a Windows machine through Control Panel. To uninstall Visual Studio 2015 completely, use the support answer on. This is resolved by running the Repair option in the Visual Studio installer, which will re-install the missing components. This may degrade the performance of the Xamarin Platform on the Visual Studio instance(s) that remain on the system after the uninstallation of the SxS instance. Under certain conditions, uninstalling one of the SxS instances can result in the incorrect removal of these features. One instance might remove some Xamarin functionality from the other Visual Studio instance(s), including: Your pages should have, I think, visibility here on LMF.If you have two (or more) instances of Visual Studio installed side-by-side (SxS) – such as a Release and a Preview version – uninstalling There needs to be a better way of going about all of this. In my own case, I don't make any kind of use of it, so this discussion is the first I've heard about the situation. Likewise, and mind you I'm a technology enthusiast since the 1980s, even I have never looked on your pages for anything to do with Mono. I imagine you have data on usage, of course, but that's not really the point I'm trying to make. I think a discussion may well be had - and probably should be - about how many people bother to do any of this, and therefore how many of those who do know about your pages. However, it is as I have said only since I bought an SSD that I was even aware of it. Ever since I bought first (and still current) SSD, your page on doing LM SSD optimization is my Bible.

Because it allows for cross-platform malware from the heavily infected Windows ecosystem. Yes, but the point of removing Mono is, that its malware risk is potentially bigger than usual.

Linux malware is big business because the cloud is big business, and nearly all of it runs on linux.

Desktop users have been fortunate only in that linux servers are the main target, targeted for OpenSSH exploits, and android devices, targeted for kernel exploits. What gets me about malware discussions in relation to linux is that too many people who ought to know better claim there is little to no chance of linux malware to the point of it having immunity, yet there is a plethora of linux malware out there. You are, of course, quite right but those of us not silly enough to do such things ought to ring the warning bells for those who would listen.

Furthermore, I have no doubt that users would confirm to install mono when the malware asks them to do it, anyway. Whether you run a malicious mono application or even just a malicious shell script really makes no difference at that point, you're compromised either way. Even if there was a lot of malware compiled with mono, which I strongly doubt, the real problem is the user executing the malware in the first place. Removing mono reduces the potential attack surface area.
