Endpoint Protection

I have a single pc on my domain and I need to uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection.  I can't find it in ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS, I can't find it in Services.msc, I can't find it in Start Up services.  The only place I do find anything is in Program Files.  But no uninstaller.  XP Security Center shows it as the Anti-virus software running and reporting.  How can I uninstall the software.
