After deploying clients we noticed user could remove subfeatures using 'Symantec Endpoint Protection'change option in Add or Remove programs such as

Proactive threat protection ('Truscan'/'Application and Device control') or Network threat protection ('Firewall and Intrusion Prevention)

We can pevent user to remove endpoint but could not find a way we could stop user make above changes.

Please share any inputs on this issue.

Thanks

This will fix you up. I found this linked document earlier today by using the search option within this forum.

As someone on this forum often posts - "try using search".

we are looking to fix this in a later build, but the easiest way to do it is to add the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\<SEP GUID>\NoModify (as REG_DWORD) and set it to 1

That will remove the change button from Add/Remove programs.
