    Hello,

    Tamper Protection is a Feature that helps protect Symantec Services from being tampered by Threats and other unavoidable things present on the World wide web, network, etc.

    Tamper Protection and Proactive Threat Protection are hardcoded and are enabled. 

    So yes, you can also say Tamper Protection is a protection for Symantec and by Symantec..

    But yes, you can surely delete files of Symantec even though Tamper Protection is Turned ON.

    We always recommend our Customers to Lock the Tamper Protection Feature for better performance of the same feature.

    Tamper protection will only protect Symantec Services from being tampered by Threats and other unavoidable things present .But if the logged user wants he can do what ever you wants ( if he has the permission).

    You can delete symantec folders and also stop symantec services and also kill liveupdate and rtvscan inspite of Tamper protection enabled.

    Hello,

    I Agree with Prachand.

    Threat work as they are programmed to.

    However, as a user YOU can manually stop the services anytime. (only if you have full rights to do the changes)
