    Hello,

    To download and run RemoveSymantecMacFiles: 
     

    1. Download RemoveSymantecMacFiles.zip from the following address:
      ftp://ftp.symantec.com/misc/tools/mactools/RemoveSymantecMacFiles.zip
       
    2. Double-click the RemoveSymantecMacFiles.zip file that you downloaded so that the file expands.
    3. Open the RemoveSymantecMacFiles folder.
    4. Double-click the RemoveSymantecMacFiles command file.
    5. Type your Mac OS X administrator password, and then press return. When you type your password, no characters appear. 
      NOTE: RemoveSymantecMacFiles requires an Administrator account with a non-blank password.
    6. Do one of the following:
      • To remove all Symantec files and folders, type 1
      • To quit RemoveSymantecMacFiles without removing any files, type 2
    7. Press Return.
    8. The utility RemoveSymantecMacFiles removes all of the Symantec files
    9. On the Terminal menu, click Quit Terminal.

    see 5. I do not have an administrator password because my pc is a stand alone.

    My employer distributes the version 12 of SEP in our intraweb in a zip package "Symantec Endpoint Protection for Mac.zip". It does not include SEP_MAC folder nor there is an uninstaller present. Where can I get the uninstaller? Or should I just use the RemoveSymantecMacFiles removal utility before trying to uninstall?
