This is a quote from\u00a0http:\/\/www.symantec.com\/docs\/TECH102261<\/a> which i found precisely here: http:\/\/www.symantec.com\/business\/support\/index?page=content&id=TECH102261&locale=en_US<\/a><\/p>\n

It is VERY long and detailed.<\/p>\n

A good use of this information (other than to actually<\/em> manually uninstall it) is to check afterwards for what’s left over.\u00a0 Also see “Backup” below, eg “ConfigUiPathBackup” cuz those get REPLACED<\/strong> not just deleted.<\/p>\n

Solution<\/h3>\n
\nThis document addresses removal of Symantec Endpoint Protection from Windows 2000, XP, and 2003. For instructions on removing the software from Windows Vista, see the document How to manually uninstall Symantec Endpoint Protection client from Windows Vista 32-bit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Only an administrator account with FULL administrative privileges can proceed with these removal instructions. One restart is required to complete product removal.<\/p>\n

WARNING:<\/span><\/b> This manual removal document is to be used only if you don’t have any other Symantec Products installed on the computer. This process may cause other Symantec products (such as Symantec Endpoint Protection Manager) to stop working properly.<\/p>\n

WARNING:<\/span><\/b> In the next steps you edit the Windows registry. Back up the registry before you make any changes to it, because incorrect changes to the registry can result in permanent data loss or corrupted files. Modify or delete only the registry keys that are specified. For instructions, see the document How to back up the Windows registry<\/a>.<\/p>\n
