  • 1.  Symantec Endpoint Protection Was Installed Without My Knowledge

    Posted Sep 25, 2014 08:38 AM

    The Symantec Endpoint Protection client is running on my home pc, of which I am the sole administrator.

    I have never purchased nor installed any Symantec products.  I am unable to remove it.  The program is not listed in add/remove programs and I am unable to change the settings ("prevent tampering") to attempt a manual removal... even though *I* am the administrator.

    I already have anti-virus protection and I do not want more system resources being hogged by a program I didn't install.

    How can I get rid of this thing?

    You can use cleanwipe to remove but you need to contact support. Honestly, no clue how that would even happen, have a screenshot of this?
