Hi,

This article will demonstrate how to uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection on Red Hat Linux machine..

You must have superuser privileges to uninstall the Symantec Endpoint Protection client on the Linux computer. The procedure uses sudo to demonstrate this elevation of privilege

1) On the Linux computer, open a terminal application window

Applicaiton --> System Tools --> Terminals

2) Navigate to the Symantec Endpoint Protection installation folder with the following command:

cd /opt/Symantec/symantec_antivirus

This folder is the default installation path.

If it's install at custom path, navigate to that path.

3) Use the built-in script to uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection with the following command:

sudo ./uninstall.sh

Enter your password if prompted.

This script initiates the uninstallation of the Symantec Endpoint Protection components.

At the prompt, type Y and then press Enter.

Uninstallation completes when the command prompt returns.

Linux machine may reboot to complete the uninstall process.

The log file for uninstallation of Symantec Endpoint Protection for Linux is under : /root/Sepfl-uninstall-log.

Similar info you may see under uninstall.log after successfull uninstall.

On some operating systems, if the only contents of the /opt folder are the Symantec Endpoint Protection client files, the uninstaller script also deletes /opt. To recreate this folder, enter the following command: sudo mkdir /opt

When I attempt to run the script as root it give me the following error:

/tmp/uninstall.sh : /opt/Symantec/symantec_antivirus : bad interpreter permission denied

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this issues or why it is happening?

I seem to be easily confused.  The header refers to symantec_antivirus, while the text body refers to Symantec Endpoint Protection.  Do these instructions apply to removing SAVFL, SEPFL, or both?  We're going to be moving on to SEPFL and need to un-install SAVFL and the reporter.  It would be great if the instructions apply to SAVFL, but what about the reporter un-install?  Is there an article for that?
