YOUR CLAWDBOTINSTALL ISNOT SECURE
OpenClaw is powerful — but most installs are done wrong. Exposed ports. Plaintext credentials. Scheduled tasks that survive uninstall. We audit, clean up, and rebuild your setup the right way — then monitor it so it stays secure.

WHAT THEY DON'T TELL YOU
npm uninstall is not enough. Here's what Clawdbot leaves behind.
SCHEDULED TASKS SURVIVE UNINSTALL
A Windows Scheduled Task called 'Clawdbot Gateway' runs at every login, spawning node.exe processes on port 18789. npm uninstall doesn't touch it.
GitHub #5103, #6367
PLAINTEXT CREDENTIAL STORAGE
All API keys, OAuth tokens, and login credentials stored in plaintext under ~/.clawdbot. Infostealer malware families now specifically target these directories.

ONE-CLICK REMOTE CODE EXECUTION
CVE-2026-25253 (CVSS 8.8): Click one malicious link and an attacker steals your auth token via cross-site WebSocket hijacking. Full control of your instance.

CLAWHUB SUPPLY CHAIN ATTACK
341 confirmed malicious skills found on ClawdHub. No moderation. A researcher published a backdoored skill and watched devs from 7 countries install it.

THREE HIDDEN CONFIG DIRECTORIES
~/.openclaw, ~/.clawdbot, and ~/.moltbot can all exist simultaneously with copies of your credentials. Most users only clean one.
OX Security
OAUTH TOKENS OUTLIVE UNINSTALL
Long-lived OAuth tokens issued to OpenClaw remain valid after uninstall. You must manually revoke access in Google, Slack, Discord, and every connected service.

REAL SCENARIO
What we see when clients come to us
A business owner installs Clawdbot to automate their front desk. It works for a few weeks. Then their machine freezes completely. Can't type. Can't click.
Task Manager shows pairs of node.exe processes fighting over port 18789. They uninstall Clawdbot. Problem solved, right?
Wrong. A Windows Scheduled Task called "Clawdbot Gateway" is still set to run at every login. The software is gone. The task is still running.
Three hidden config directories still hold their API keys in plaintext. Registry entries persist. Startup items that npm uninstall never touched are still active.
This is happening to thousands of business owners who don't know what Task Scheduler is. That's why we built this service.

Any version, any platform. Even if you think you uninstalled it.
THE FDL REMOVAL PROTOCOL
We don't just uninstall. We audit, remove, verify, and secure.
AUDIT
- Full scan of Task Scheduler, registry, startup entries
- Locate all config dirs (~/.clawdbot, ~/.moltbot, ~/.openclaw)
- Identify exposed ports and running gateway processes
- Catalog all plaintext credentials at risk
REMOVE & CLEAN
- Kill all Clawdbot/OpenClaw processes
- Delete scheduled tasks and registry keys
- Purge config directories and .bak files
- Remove startup entries and orphaned services
VERIFY & SECURE
- Confirm zero Clawdbot processes or artifacts remain
- Credential rotation guidance for exposed API keys
- OAuth token revocation checklist
- Written security verification report
