Endpoint Protection

Hi, so i was wondering, i have the Endpoint Protection at out machines, but i'm not able to stop the service (and i'm administrator at one of the machines).

i saw people said to stop the tamper protection, but i'm not able to do it, it doesn't respond.

i'm scratching my head - what am i missing?

You're doing this from a 'Run' prompt and typing 'smc -stop' ?

What is the exact version you're running?

ccsvchost is the service which takes care of the scan in 12.x now, you wont be able to stop this service as it will be grayed out in services.msc

if you want to stop the client service, you can do that from run cmd , smc -stop / start

if you want to disable symantec, do the opposite of this
