How to turn off enterprise Symantec AV?
-
I have a remote system that I am responsible for maintaining. It sits in the corner and does its thing - it is not used to web surf, email or anything else. A few months ago, the on-site sys admin decided it needed norton antivirus on it, which promptly began interfering with my application. How do I get rid of this "virus"? :)

Oh this is just ripe.... first, it's my system, I'm the sysadmin, I have the power to install, uninstall, reboot, you name it. So, I go to remove Symantec, and Symantec requires a PASSWORD to remove it. :sigh::doh: Unbelievable.

Ask Symantec :) I had a DELL that wouldn't boot because of a weird interaction between the SATA DVD-+RW device and SAV, so I had to look in the Symantec knowledge base to work out a way around this. You need Recovery Console to do this, and you may find listing the state of the drivers and services *first* is a good idea [hint]

Symantec Antivirus is very inefficient and I see it has a lot of memory leaks. As the system boots and once you logon, you can not do anything for at least 15 minutes till the Antivirus finishes its startup scan activities.

Well, setting aside this fact that the enterprise edition has issues, apparently, the people that installed it don't remember the installation password. I don't need it, I don't want it, go away :) The part that annoys me the most, is they admins have been told this box is special, no touchie. they didn't listen
