SYMPTOMS

When you install Microsoft Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) under Windows NT 3.5, 3.51 and 4.0, the following objects are added to Performance Monitor: 

   ICMP
   IP
   Network Interface
   TCP
   UDP


When you remove SNMP, the objects added to Performance Monitor during installation are not removed, and continue to be available.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. The objects are not removed in order to preserve the integrity of the performance monitor counters.
