SEP removal tool which will not corrupt network card drivers

This is caused due to Teefer Driver

Use the Teefer removal first and then use Cleanwipe, you will not face any issues

@ Acretian thank you for the information .Can you tell
me from where I can download this tool 

Contact Tech support, they can provide you with the tool.

I tried to Upload it once and they cancelled the upload saying that its already available  on the system

One thing to note is that using RDP non Console Session (session 0) and running the Cleanwipe Utility or Uninstalling via Add/Remove are a supported way to remove the SEP. 
This can cause issues like what you are experiencing.
If you have to do it over a remote sessions, just make sure you are at Console Session 0.

I will be using VNC for accessing my workstations. I had
faced this problem up to now only with workstations. (In fact I am afraid to
use clean wipe in my production servers because of this issue. So never tried
it.)

Where to download teefer removal tool? I have the same issue

thanks

Agreed one hundred percent. I am always at session 0, and I run into this issue constantly. It's really a crapshoot whether I'll be able to reconnect to a machine halfway through a cleanwipe, and I would never dare trying this on a production server without someone on site. It's pretty embarassing to give the tool to local IT with the warning that, by the way, this will likely kill your NIC drivers. Please fix this.

In order to receive the Teefer Removal tool you must contact Technical Support and discuss your issue with an agent.  They will determine if the specific circumstances warrant the use of the Teefer Removal tool and will make the tool available to you, along with the instructions on how to use the tool properly.

Also, as mentioned in a previous post, the RemoveTeefer tool must be run prior to running the CleanWipe Removal tool.

I contacted support and they told me they couldn't help, that I needed a support contract.  All I am trying to do is remove the freakin' software.  Why does Symantec make it SOOOOOO hard to get rid of their stuff?

Yes please, now i cannot connect to any network and ipconfig /all doesn't give me anything at all !

Wow I can't believe that it is still happening until now :-|

Run into the same blues. Actually the Symantec Tech support person suggested to use the CleanWipe without pointing to the issues with the Teefer2 drives. Had lots of problem to kill the corrupted symatec, and took more than three wipes to get rid of all. Naturally lost/corrupted internet drivers. ISP provider did not helped since this is not their problem. Symantec said I have to pay to fix it. Seems they enjoy making some profit on the cheap way. It is like to give a patient poison then offer the cure for extra fee. Good to be a security Dr.

ps the uninstall trick is working. Now if I get my live update to make up for the missing definitions within a day I can call it even. By the way running Endpoint v11.

very true, my solution is of course to :

1. remove any network card entry in your device manager

2. click "detect" new hardware button to force detection of new hardware driver (or system restart)

3. Install manually the NIC driver if needed.

that's what I've done manually so far in several 25 PC over the weekend by empolying job placement student :-| and now I wonder how to do it in the big company environment with 100+ workstations ?
