Can I remove BootCamp HFS+ driver So, I have an iMac 27" Late 2012, and I have just installed Windows 10 Home 64Bit through BootCamp. BootCamp comes along with several "support software", useful drivers made for Windows and Apple hardware. I have recently noticed that one of the drivers mounts and makes read-and-writeable drives that are formatted in HFS+, including my Mac drive (which appears read-only) and an external HDD I make backups to. Since I'm afraid of Windows Ransomware, I'd like to remove any access to HFS+ drivers from Windows side of things. Is there any way to remove (or at least disable) the driver that enables HFS+?
AFAIK the Apple HFS+ drivers are read-only. You may have installed another read/write driver like Paragon.

To remove Apple HFS+ Driver:


Browse to C:\Windows\System32\drivers\
Move AppleHFS.sys &amp; AppleMNT.sys to the Recycle Bin
Create a Remove_AppleHFS.reg file with a text editor like NotePad and the following content:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\AppleHFS]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\AppleMNT]


You may have to add a trailing empty line. 

Merging a reg file with the registry should work as following:


Click on Start and then Run...
Type in regedit, and then press OK
In regedit, click on File, and then Import
Enter the filename or otherwise locate the ".reg" file you want to enter, and press OK
The contents of that ".reg" file will be entered into the registry.

Restart
