A program at work has symantec anti virus software on it. The trading company put it on. My boss wants me to delete the program but its password protected.....I want toknow how I can get rid of it without knowing the password. can I just delete it? thanks
If you just try and delete the program folder it will probably say access denied file in use or something plus will mess up alsorts probably. There will be registry entries and allsorts to deal with. Inshort I wouldnt, it will probably turn into a nightmare.
i think the only way to remove it is by calling good ol' symantec. I had a prob like that I while ago with a client that had corp installed on his server but forgot his password (go figure). I googled everything I could, I surely remember reading somethinga about giving symantec a call. g.luck
I had the same problem, an older app was loaded onto the box after NAV, and the app blew up every time. For the corporate/enterprise editions there is a way to reset the password to null to uninstall or make changes, but it was a fairly involved proccess hacking on the registry and a few reboots. But you'd have to contact Symantec to get that info, not to mention answer a dozen questions for them to prove you are who you are and you are authorized to perform said operations and crud like that.... if Symantec had warned me ahead of time of the hassle or if i had to do it all over again... i'd backup the data i needed and dump the box, and start over without the Corp. NAV. Obviously I have slept once or twice since then, so the exact proccess has long since evaporated. Good luck!
