    When you install Hamachi, make sure you install it to the default C:\Program Files[ (x86)]\ only.

     

    Hamachi has a system service component that requires protection to prevent malicious attacks, if you install to a location that is not C:\Program Files[ (x86)]\ the same permissions will be applied to the location you install it to.

      And this is the reason we lose access to our entire drive? Why the hell even give the option to install it somewhere else if all it does it cause problems? And why are those "protections" not reverted upon uninstalling it? Without exageration, Hamachi has done more damage to my system than any malware I ever had.
