Do not install on other PCs. This installation will require a USB keyboard and mouse connected to the display. Remove any versions of MagicInfo from the display computer. Commit the uninstall to the Enhanced Write Filter (EWF) using the EWF Manager application on the display computer desktop.

Committing to the EWF
The EWF (Enhanced Write Filter) is a write protect on the C:\ drive of Samsung display computers. This protects against unauthorized changes and malicious software by maintaining a safe set of software and settings that are restored at each boot. Any changes not saved to the EWF will be lost on reboot. Any changes or new software installed must be added, or committed, to the EWF. Samsung has provided an icon on the desktop, the EWF Manager, to perform this task. Double click on the icon to run the EWF Manager application.
