Endpoint Protection

Issue/Introduction

You need to manually uninstall or remove the Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP) client from Windows computers.

Note: To manually uninstall the manager, see Manually uninstall the Endpoint Protection manager.

Environment

  • Microsoft Windows
  • Endpoint Protection 14.0 or later

Resolution

Warning

The manual removal process can disable other Symantec products that are installed on the computer. We recommended that you use Add or Remove Programs when uninstalling Symantec software before starting this process.

Manual uninstall of SEP should only be attempted as a last resort if traditional removal by Add or Remove Programs fails. If that does not work, use CleanWipe.

Not all files, folders, registry keys, or registry values may be present on the computer. If an entry does not exist, move on to the next one.

Log on as Administrator

The Administrator account on Windows must be used to remove Symantec Endpoint Protection.

To enable the Administrator account, see Enable and Disable the Built-in Administrator Account (Microsoft). When the Administrator account is enabled, log on using that account.

Before you begin this procedure, back up the Windows registry. See Back up the registry (Microsoft).
