Remove Corp version of Norton

[Spoiler]

Hi All,
I have a Windows 2000 Pro computer running a corp version of Symantec Antivirus. It is version 10.1.

I am trying to get rip of it. When I run the uninstall it asks for a uninstall password which I don't have....

Need some ideas on how to get rip of it.

Thanks

Remove it from Add/Remove programs...
Then Run This...

Thanks but the problem is that when I start to run the add and remove it gets about half way though the removal and then asks for a password. It will not let me complete the uninstall without the password.

Norton Removal Tool won't work on Corporate Edition.
You can try manual removal: http://service1.symantec.com/support/ent-security.nsf/pfdocs/2002031914291648?open
I don't touch Norton, so if it'll ask you for some password, I can't help you.

Hope this works, try the following steps

The default password that should work for most of the Symantec Antivirus Corporate Edition client uninstallation is “symantec“.

However, if the default password didn’t work, this is what you should do:

1) Go to Start -> Run and type regedit

2) Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\INTEL\LANDesk\VirusProtect6\CurrentVersion\Administrator Only\Security\

3) Double click on the value name “UseVPUninstallPassword” and change the value from 1 to 0

4) Close the registry and retry the uninstall.

Thanks......

I tried a bunch of passwords I thought it might be and found that the symantec worked!

I was able to finish the uninstall and its gone!

Thanks everyone......

Another fine example of why you should avoid Norton at all costs...

there are a bunch of quality free AV's to choose from, if free is what you like

This was a low end build for a kid to get email and surf the web.

I am not a big fan of Norton and wanted to pull it out before I had trouble with it and the kid. I loaded avast! and malwarebytes.

I get the feeling I will be seeing this machine again after the kid toasts it.

Thanks again all !
