Explanation

CSUninstallTool.exe is CrowdStrike's official utility for removing the Falcon Sensor from Windows endpoints - the tool name directly encodes the vendor prefix "CS" (CrowdStrike) combined with the action "Uninstall," which is the naming convention CrowdStrike chose for this purpose.

Options B, C, and D are plausible-sounding but fictitious: UninstallTool.exe lacks any vendor identifier making it generic, CrowdStrikeRemovalTool.exe uses "Removal" instead of "Uninstall" and is not a real CrowdStrike product, and FalconUninstall.exe reverses the expected naming order (Falcon is the product line, not the action prefix). None of B, C, or D correspond to tools CrowdStrike has published.

Memory tip: Think "CS before you Uninstall" - the "CS" prefix is CrowdStrike's shorthand signature across many of their tools, so the correct tool starts with CS, not the full company name or product name.
