    Hi Suren424,

    It will indeed scan a computer that does not have SEP installed.  Here's an article on what the SERT tool is intended for and what it scans:

    What does the full scan from the Symantec Endpoint Recovery Tool (SERT) CD scan ?

    A bit more about SERT:

    Also: the Symantec Power Eraser built into the SymHelp tool may be a quicker solution than building a SERT tool with the latest definitions.  It is worth a try, first.

    Please do update this thread with any additional questions, or mark it "solved" if you have received your answer!  (It is currently listed as "needs solution")

    With thanks and best regards,
