jasranch.blogg.se - Uninstall symantec endpoint protection on mac

Actually, it is part of the root (and only) file system, which is not generally read-only. I also found a directory in /private/tmp belonging to 'the software gizmo' - but I can't remove it, not even with root privileges, because it is mounted on a 'read-only file system' (according to the error messages).

Do I need to reinstall it so that the correct uninstaller is available after all?.

Any ideas on how to actually get rid of it?.

Neither can I - it isn't in /Applications or /Applications/Utilities that I can see. I downloaded the uninstaller '.sit' file, and I've run it, but it can't find the Symantec software on the disk. I went to the Symantec site via a Google search and found a page about removing Symantec Antivirus from the Mac.

I removed the Symantec software folders because it was not clear that anything had worked, but the Symantec scanner still managed to start up after a reboot - and still shows up in System Preferences.

I've had nothing but trouble since the installers ran into some problem while unpacking Firefox 3.5.7, which I also tried to install via the same work-provided software at the same time. I installed Symantec Antivirus on my Mac (mid-2009 MacBook Pro) running Snow Leopard (10.6.2) via a work-provided software gizmo - along with some other software.
