Kaseya Agents & You

[Stephen]

here is a question from me, you have a weath of information on how to
remove it, but no links as to why?

this is the first time i have seen this product so i have heard very
little one way or another.

if you have links as to why its a bad application to have then i would
like to hear it/see it.
