Removing Client Security Solutions

I want to remove Client Security Solutions from my T42. Is it as simple as going into Control Panel/Remove Program and zapping it, or do I have to fiddle with the ThinkVantage configuration interface? Do I have to also remove the Password Manager afterwards? Thanks.

I just uninstalled mine, but the security chip will not be changed.

It was annoying my to no end; what is your reason for removing it?

I want to speed up boot time and also free up hard disk space. I'm wondering if there are other ThinkVantage programs I don't need. I don't travel with my T42 (I have an X40 for that), so no security issues.

Yes, it's so simple as going to control panel and removing it.

You'll lost some features as password manager and secure data storage.

Fingerprinter logon will be keeped.

You'll get faster startup times.

Enjoy

If you are not using Rescue and Recovery it is a disk hog. Over 500 MB last time I checked, without accounting for the space backups take.

Rescue and Recovery is for OS or for data??

Both. It is used for the restore to factory default option, but you can also use it to create images of everything on the primary drive.

If you use it and are happy with it so be it. But there are plenty of other good products out there (TrueImage, etc.) that can do a better job with a smaller footprint.
