    Try to use Norton Security Scan to clean the system first
    uninstall SEP using Clean Wipe (Removal Tool)
    Then Reinstall SEP

    You can download Norton Security Scan from here
    http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/WelcomePage.asp

    Call support and Open a case to obtain Clean Wipe

    CleanWipe will remove all remnants of the following products from a computer:

     · Symantec Endpoint Protection
     · Symantec AntiVirus
     · Symantec Client Security
     · Symantec Sygate Enterprise Protection
     · Symantec Network Access Control
     · Norton AntiVirus
     · Symantec System Center
     · Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager

    Note: The following cautions apply to the use of CleanWipe:

    - CleanWipe removes all of the listed applications.  You cannot select individual applications to remove. 

    - CleanWipe may also remove LiveUpdate.

    - CleanWipe may also remove Virus Definitions.

    - If you have other Symantec applications on the computer that depend on any of the applications listed above, those applications may not function properly.  You need to reinstall the missing applications after you run CleanWipe.

    Did you try to run scan in safe mode...

    As  Acretian mentioned you can reinstall or try to repair SEP...

    If the system is already infected there are chances that even the NSS tool might fail to run a scan. In this case, you can map the C drive of the infected system to another good machine that has SEP installed with latest definitions and run a full system scan. After the machine is clean, you can install the SEP client on it. Thanks :-)
