  • 1.  Unmanaged Client: How to disable Defs out of date pop-up

    Posted Jul 25, 2014 03:01 PM

    I have an unmanaged client running version 12.1.2015 Symantec Endpoint Protection (SEP). I know it is not recommended to disable "Out of date" virus defs pop-ups, but the user insists on having this turned off. How can I disable this pop-up? The user is in a lab and is never on the internet/network.

    THanks

    For unmanaged there is no configurable option on the GUI but try this reghack:

    HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\AdministratorOnly\General

    Edit the WarnAfterDays key

    The value .Brian mentioned will work fine for the warning displayed in the Client UI.

    If you're trying to get around the pop-up in the System Tray, then you'll need to modify the value: WSCDefsUpToDate.

    WarnAfterDays - Possible values: 0 - 99
    WSCDefsUpToDate - Possible values: 1 - 30

    Hope that helps!

    stop the tamper protection

     http://www.symantec.com/docs/TECH102688

    then stop the smc (smc -stop)

    HKLM\Software\Wow6432Node\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\AV\AdministratorOnly\General

    Change the value with 0 to disable it

    start the smc (smc -start)
